Judges 9:50-57
Abimelech’s Punishment

50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.

50:

51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut [it] to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.

51:

52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

52:

53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and all to brake his skull.

53:

54 Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

54:

55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.

55:

56 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:

56:

57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

57:
