53 But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, and she smashed his skull.

54 Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and put me to death, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’” So the young man pierced him through, and he died.

55 Then the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, so each went away to his home.

56 Thus God returned the evil of Abimelech, which he had done to his father in killing his seventy brothers.

57 God also returned all the evil of the men of Shechem on their own heads, and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.
