Judges 9:47-57

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Abimelech
<040>_,

that all the men
<01167>

of the tower
<04026>

of Shechem
<07927>

were gathered together
<06908> (8694)_.

And Abimelech
<040>

gat him up
<05927> (8799)

to mount
<02022>

Zalmon
<06756>_,

he and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him; and Abimelech
<040>

took
<03947> (8799)

an axe
<07134>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and cut down
<03772> (8799)

a bough
<07754>

from the trees
<06086>_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

it, and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] on his shoulder
<07926>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, What ye have seen
<07200> (8804)

me do
<06213> (8804)_,

make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

[and] do
<06213> (8798)

as I
<03644>

[have done]. {me do: Heb. I have done}

And all the people
<05971>

likewise cut down
<03772> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his bough
<07754>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

Abimelech
<040>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

[them] to the hold
<06877>_,

and set
<03341> (8686)

the hold
<06877>

on fire
<0784>

upon them; so that all the men
<0582>

of the tower
<04026>

of Shechem
<07927>

died
<04191> (8799)

also, about a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_.

Then went
<03212> (8799)

Abimelech
<040>

to Thebez
<08405>_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

against Thebez
<08405>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

it.

But there was a strong
<05797>

tower
<04026>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_,

and thither fled
<05127> (8799)

all the men
<0582>

and women
<0802>_,

and all they
<01167>

of the city
<05892>_,

and shut
<05462> (8799)

[it] to them, and gat them up
<05927> (8799)

to the top
<01406>

of the tower
<04026>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto the tower
<04026>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against it, and went hard
<05066> (8799)

unto the door
<06607>

of the tower
<04026>

to burn
<08313> (8800)

it with fire
<0784>_.

And a certain
<0259>

woman
<0802>

cast
<07993> (8686)

a piece
<06400>

of a millstone
<07393>

upon Abimelech's
<040>

head
<07218>_,

and all to brake
<07533> (8686)

his skull
<01538>_.

Then he called
<07121> (8799)

hastily
<04120>

unto the young man
<05288>

his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Draw
<08025> (8798)

thy sword
<02719>_,

and slay
<04191> (8786)

me, that men say
<0559> (8799)

not of me, A woman
<0802>

slew
<02026> (8804)

him. And his young man
<05288>

thrust him through
<01856> (8799)_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_.

And when the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Abimelech
<040>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

they departed
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his place
<04725>_.

Thus God
<0430>

rendered
<07725> (8686)

the wickedness
<07451>

of Abimelech
<040>_,

which he did
<06213> (8804)

unto his father
<01>_,

in slaying
<02026> (8800)

his seventy
<07657>

brethren
<0251>_:

And all the evil
<07451>

of the men
<0582>

of Shechem
<07927>

did God
<0430>

render
<07725> (8689)

upon their heads
<07218>_:

and upon them came
<0935> (8799)

the curse
<07045>

of Jotham
<03147>

the son
<01121>

of Jerubbaal
<03378>_.
