49. And all the people likewise cut down each one his own branch and followed Aḇimeleḵ, and put them against the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire above them, so that all the men of the tower of Sheḵem died, about a thousand men and women.
50. Aḇimeleḵ then went to Thĕḇĕts, and he encamped against Thĕḇĕts and captured it.
51. However, there was a strong tower in the city, and all the men and women and all the masters of the city fled there and shut themselves in, and went up to the top of the tower.
52. And Aḇimeleḵ came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53. But a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on the head of Aḇimeleḵ, and crushed his skull.
