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 1leaders 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 down with fire.

53But 2a woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.

54Then 3he 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 killed him.’” So 4the young man pierced him through, and he died.
