Judges 9:50-54

50Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he camped against Thebez and captured it.

51But there was a strong tower in the center of the city, and all the men and women with all the leaders of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up on the roof of the tower.

52So Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.

53But 1a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.

54Then 2he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, ‘A woman slew him.’” So 3the young man pierced him through, and he died.
