God’s Word Translation
Judges 9:50-56
50Then Abimelech went to Thebez, camped there, and captured it.
51Now, there was a strong tower inside the town. All the men, women, and leaders of the town fled to it. They locked the door behind them and went up on the roof of the tower.
52Abimelech came to the tower. He began to fight against it and went near the entrance of the tower to burn it down.
53Then a woman threw a small millstone that hit Abimelech on the head and cracked his skull.
54He quickly called his armorbearer. He told him, “Take your sword and kill me! I don’t want anyone to say, ‘A woman killed Abimelech.’ ” His armorbearer did as he said, so Abimelech died.
55When the people of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they all went home.
56So God paid back Abimelech for the evil he had done to his father when he killed his 70 brothers.
