New International Version
Judges 9:52-57
52Abimelek went to the tower and attacked it. But as he approached the entrance to the tower to set it on fire,
53a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull.
54Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can’t say, ‘A woman killed him.’ ” So his servant ran him through, and he died.
55When the Israelites saw that Abimelek was dead, they went home.
56Thus God repaid the wickedness that Abimelek had done to his father by murdering his seventy brothers.
57God also made the people of Shechem pay for all their wickedness. The curse of Jotham son of Jerub-Baal came on them.
