Judges 9:53-57 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

53. And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon Abimelech's head, and brake his skull.

54. Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and kill me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

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

56. Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:

57. and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
