Judges 9:52-57
52Abimelech and his men came to attack the tower. Abimelech went near to the door of the tower, to put a fire there.
53A woman on the roof dropped a heavy rock down on his head. It broke Abimelech's skull.
54Abimelech quickly said to the young man who carried his weapons, ‘Take hold of your sword and kill me! I do not want people to say that a woman killed me!’ So the young man killed him with his sword.
55When the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, they went home.
56That was how God punished Abimelech. He had done an evil thing against his father when he killed his 70 brothers.
57God was also punishing the people of Shechem for the evil things that they had done. When Gideon's son Jotham had cursed them, he said that these things would happen.
