Judges 9:52-57
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[52] Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire. [53] A certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech's head, and broke his skull. [54] Then he called hastily to the young man his armor bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword, and kill me, that men not say of me, A woman killed him. His young man thrust him through, and he died. [55] When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place. [56] Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in killing his seventy brothers; [57] and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite on their heads: and on them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
