Judges 9:50-56
50Then wentH413 AbimelechH40 to ThebezH8405, and encampedH2583 againstH413 ThebezH8405, and tookH3920 it.
51But there was a strongH5797 towerH4026 withinH8432 the cityH5892, and thither fledH5127 allH3605 the menH376 and womenH802, and allH3605 they of the cityH5892, and shutH5462 themselvesH5921 in, and gat them upH5927 to the roofH1406 of the towerH4026.
52And AbimelechH40 cameH935 unto the towerH4026, and foughtH3898 againstH3898 it, and wentH935 hard unto the doorH6607 of the towerH4026 to burnH8313 it with fireH784.
53And a certainH259 womanH802 castH7993 an upperH7393 millstoneH7393 uponH5921 Abimelech’sH40 headH7218, and brake his skullH1538.
54Then he calledH7121 hastily unto the youngH5288 manH5288 his armourbearer, and saidH559 unto him, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and killH2026 meH413, that menH5288 sayH559 notH6435 of meH413, A womanH802 slewH2026 him. And his youngH5288 manH5288 thrustH1856 him throughH1856, and he diedH4191.
55And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that AbimelechH40 was deadH4191, they departed everyH376 manH376 unto his placeH4725.
56Thus GodH430 requited the wickednessH7451 of AbimelechH40, whichH834 he didH6213 unto his fatherH1, in slaying his seventyH7657 brethrenH251:
