Judges 9:52-57 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.

55. And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they went every man to his place.

56. And God rendered back the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in slaying his seventy brethren.

57. And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render back upon their heads; and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
