Judges 9:50-54

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵⁰ Then Abimelech went to Thebez and encamped against Thebez and took it.

⁵¹ But there was a strong tower in the city, and all the people of the city—men and women—fled to it, shut themselves in, and went to the roof of the tower.

⁵² And Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it and drew near the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

⁵³ But a certain woman cast an upper millstone [down] upon Abimelech’s head and broke his skull.

⁵⁴ Then he called hastily to the young man, his armor-bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword and slay me, so that men may not say of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
