Judges 9:52-57

52So Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

53But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.

54Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor-bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman slew him.’” So his young man thrust him through, and he died.

55So when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they each departed to his place.

56Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech—what he had done to his father by slaying his 70 brothers.

57Also all the wickedness of the men of Shechem God requited on their heads. Thus on them came the curse of Jotam son of Jerubbaal.
