Judges 9:47-48

47It was told Abimelech that all the leaders of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

48So Abimelech went up to Mount 1Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took 2an axe in his hand and cut down a branch from the trees, and lifted it and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, “What you have seen me do, hurry and do 3likewise.”
