New Living Translation
Judges 9:52-57
52Abimelech followed them to attack the tower. But as he prepared to set fire to the entrance,
53a woman on the roof dropped a millstone that landed on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.
54He quickly said to his young armor bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me! Don’t let it be said that a woman killed Abimelech!” So the young man ran him through with his sword, and he died.
55When Abimelech’s men saw that he was dead, they disbanded and returned to their homes.
56In this way, God punished Abimelech for the evil he had done against his father by murdering his seventy brothers.
57God also punished the men of Shechem for all their evil. So the curse of Jotham son of Gideon was fulfilled.
