Judges 9:51-54 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

51. But there was a strong tower in the midst of the city, and thither fled all the men and women, all the citizens of the city; and they shut it behind them, and went up to the roof of the tower.

52. And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and he drew near to the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire;

53. and a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill on Abimelech's head, and crushed his skull.

54. Then he called hastily to the young man that carried his armour, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that they say not of me, A woman killed him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
