Judges 9:42-49

42And it cameH1961 to passH1961 on the morrow, that the peopleH5971 wentH3318 outH3318 intoH1961 the fieldH7704; and they toldH5046 AbimelechH40.

43And he tookH3947 the peopleH5971, and dividedH2673 them intoH5921 threeH7969 companiesH7218, and laidH3318 waitH693 in the fieldH7704; and he lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, the peopleH5971 cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892; and he roseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 them, and smoteH5221 them.

44And AbimelechH40, and the companiesH7218 that were with him, rushedH6584 forward, and stoodH5975 in the entering of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892: and the twoH8147 companiesH7218 rushedH6584 uponH5921 allH3605 that were in the fieldH7704, and smoteH5221 them.

45And AbimelechH40 foughtH3898 againstH3898 the cityH5892 allH3605 that dayH3117; and he tookH3920 the cityH5892, and slewH2026 the peopleH5971 that was therein: and he beat downH5422 the cityH5892, and sowedH2232 it with saltH4417.

46And when allH3605 the menH1167 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 heardH8085 thereof, they enteredH935 intoH413 the holdH1004 of the houseH1004 of El-berith.

47And it was toldH5046 AbimelechH40 that allH3605 the menH1167 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 were gatheredH6908 togetherH6908.

48And AbimelechH40 gat him upH5927 to mountH2022 ZalmonH6756, he and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with him; and AbimelechH40 tookH3947 an axeH7134 in his handH3027, and cutH3772 downH3772 a bough from the treesH6086, and tookH3947 it upH5927, and laidH7760 it on his shoulderH7926: and he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971 that were with him, WhatH4100 ye have seenH7200 meH413 doH6213, makeH7760 hasteH4116, and doH6213 as I have doneH6213.

49And allH3605 the peopleH5971 likewise cutH3772 downH3772 everyH3605 manH376 his bough, and followedH310 AbimelechH40, and putH4191 them to the hold, and setH7760 the hold on fireH784 uponH5921 them; soH1571 that allH3605 the menH376 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 diedH4191 also, aboutH5921 a thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802.
