49 And every one of the people cuts down his bough and goes after Abimelech, and sets [them] at the high place, and burns the high place with fire by these, and also all the men of the Tower of Shechem die—about one thousand men and women. 50 And Abimelech goes to Thebez, and encamps against Thebez, and captures it, 51 and a strong tower has been in the midst of the city, and all the men and the women flee there, and all the masters of the city, and they shut [it] behind them, and go up on the roof of the tower. 52 And Abimelech comes to the tower, and fights against it, and draws near to the opening of the tower to burn it with fire, 53 and a certain woman casts a piece of a millstone on the head of Abimelech, and breaks his skull, Judges 9:49-53, Literal Standard Version.
