52 But as Abimelech was preparing to burn it, 53 a woman on the roof threw down a millstone. It landed on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.
54 “Kill me!” he groaned to his youthful armor bearer. “Never let it be said that a woman killed Abimelech!”
So the young man pierced him with his sword, and he died.

Judges 9:52-54
New International Version
52 Abimelek went to the tower and attacked it. But as he approached the entrance to the tower to set it on fire, 53 a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull.(A)
54 Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me,(B) so that they can’t say, ‘A woman killed him.’” So his servant ran him through, and he died.
