Judges 9:53-57 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

53. and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull,

54. and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his weapons, and saith to him, `Draw thy sword, and thou hast put me to death, lest they say of me--A woman slew him;' and his young man pierced him through, and he dieth.

55. And the men of Israel see that Abimelech [is] dead, and go each one to his place;

56. and God turneth back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brethren;

57. and all the evil of the men of Shechem hath God turned back on their head, and come unto them doth the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubbaal.
