Tower of Shechem

TOWER OF SHECHEM

(mighdal shekhem): Mentioned only in Judges 9:46-49. It seems along with the Beth-millo and the Beth-el-berith to have comprised the three strongest parts of the fortification when Abimelech besieged the town. It was, however, abandoned by its defenders, who took refuge in the Beth-millo, in which they were slain.

Judges 9:46,49
And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
