Judges 9:52-54

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵² Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it and came near to the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire. ⁵³ But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.^{(A) 54} Immediately he called to the young man who carried his armor and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, so people will not say about me, ‘A woman killed him.’ ” So the young man thrust him through, and he died.
