English Standard Version
Judges 9:50-56
50Then Abimelech went to Thebez and encamped against Thebez and captured it.
51But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the men and women and all the leaders of the city fled to it and shut themselves in, and they went up to the roof of the tower.
52And Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53And a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech's head and crushed his skull.
54Then he called quickly to the young man his armor-bearer and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, 'A woman killed him.'" And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
55And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, everyone departed to his home.
56Thus God returned the evil of Abimelech, which he committed against his father in killing his seventy brothers.
