53 and a certain woman casts a piece of a millstone on the head of Abimelech, and breaks his skull,

54 and he calls quickly to the young man carrying his weapons and says to him, “Draw your sword, and you have put me to death, lest they say of me—A woman slew him”; and his young man pierced him through, and he dies.

55 And the men of Israel see that Abimelech [is] dead, and each one goes to his place;

56 and God turns back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brothers;

57 and God has returned all the evil of the men of Shechem on their [own] head, and the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubba‘al comes to them.
