51But there was a strong tower within the city, and there fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut themselves in, and got them up to the roof of the tower.
52Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53A certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech`s head, and broke his skull.
54Then he called hastily to the young man his armor bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword, and kill me, that men not say of me, A woman killed him. His young man thrust him through, and he died.
55When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.
56Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in killing his seventy brothers;
57and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite on their heads: and on them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
