Judges 9:50-56

50And AbimelechH40 went to ThebezH8405, and encampedH2583 against ThebezH8405, and tookH3920 it.

51But there wasH1961 a strong towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and thither fledH5127 all the menH376 and womenH802, all the citizensH1167 of the cityH5892; and they shutH5462 it behind them, and wentH5927 up to the roofH1406 of the towerH4026.

52And AbimelechH40 cameH935 to the towerH4026, and foughtH3898 against it, and he drewH5066 near to the entranceH6607 of the towerH4026 to burnH8313 it with fireH784;

53and a womanH802 castH7993 the upperH7393 stone of a handmill on Abimelech's headH7218, and crushedH7533 his skullH1538.

54Then he calledH7121 hastily to the youngH5288 manH5288 that carriedH5375 his armour, and saidH559 to him, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and slayH2026 me, that they sayH559 not of me, A womanH802 killedH2026 him. And his youngH5288 manH5288 thrust him through, and he diedH4191.

55And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that AbimelechH40 was deadH4191, they went every manH376 to his placeH4725.

56And 1GodH430 rendered backH7725 the wickednessH7451 of AbimelechH40, which he did to his fatherH1 in slaying his seventyH7657 brethren.
