Judges 9:50-55
50Then AbimelechH40 wentH1980 to ThebezH8405, and he campedH2583 against ThebezH8405 and capturedH3920 it.
51But there was a strongH5797 towerH4026 in the centerH8432 of the cityH5892, and allH3605 the menH376 and womenH802 with allH3605 the 1leadersH1167 of the cityH5892 fledH5127 thereH8033 and shutH5462 themselves inH5462; and they wentH5927 upH5927 on the roofH1406 of the towerH4026.
52So AbimelechH40 cameH935 to the towerH4026 and foughtH3898 against it, and approachedH5066 the entranceH6607 of the towerH4026 to burnH8313 it downH8313 with fireH784.
53But 2a womanH802 threwH7993 an upperH7393 millstoneH7393 on Abimelech’sH40 headH7218, crushingH7533 his skullH1538.
54Then 3he calledH7121 quicklyH4120 to the youngH5288 manH5288, his armorH3627 bearerH5375, and saidH559 to him, “DrawH8025 your swordH2719 and killH4191 me, soH6435 thatH6435 it will notH6435 be saidH559 of me, ‘A womanH802 killedH2026 him.’” So 4the youngH5288 manH5288 piercedH1856 him throughH1856, and he diedH4191.
55Now when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that AbimelechH40 was deadH4191, eachH376 leftH1980 for his 5homeH4725.
