49 So every man cut down his branch and followed Abimeleck, and they piled them up, and then set the city on fire, so that all the men that were in the tower of Shechem died in fire, about a thousand men and women. 50 Then Abimeleck went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez and took it. 51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women and all the lords of the city, and shut it behind themselves, and went to the top of the tower. 52 And Abimeleck advanced as far as the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to set it on fire. 53 And a certain woman threw a piece of an upper millstone upon Abimeleck's head and broke his skull.
