46And when all the menH1167 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 heardH8085 that, they enteredH935 into a strong holdH6877 of the houseH1004 of the godH410 BerithH1286. 47And it was toldH5046 to AbimelechH40, that all the menH1167 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 were gathered togetherH6908. 48And AbimelechH40 went upH5927 to mountH2022 ZalmonH6756, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him; and AbimelechH40 tookH3947 an axeH7134 in his handH3027, and cut downH3772 a boughH7754 from the treesH6086, and tookH5375 it, and laidH7760 it on his shoulderH7926, and saidH559 to the peopleH5971 that were with him, What ye have seenH7200 me doH6213, make hasteH4116, and doH6213 as IH3644 have done .1 49And all the peopleH5971 likewise cut downH3772 every manH376 his boughH7754, and followedH3212H310 AbimelechH40, and putH7760 them to the strong holdH6877, and setH3341 the strong holdH6877 on fireH784 upon them; so that all the menH582 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 diedH4191 also, about a thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802.

50Then wentH3212 AbimelechH40 to ThebezH8405, and encampedH2583 against ThebezH8405, and tookH3920 it. 51But there was a strongH5797 towerH4026 withinH8432 the cityH5892, and to there fledH5127 all the menH582 and womenH802, and all theyH1167 of the cityH5892, and shutH5462 it after them, and went upH5927 to the topH1406 of the towerH4026. 52And AbimelechH40 cameH935 to the towerH4026, and foughtH3898 against it, and came nearH5066 to the doorH6607 of the towerH4026 to burnH8313 it with fireH784.
