Judges 9:53-55
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
53 But a certain woman cast an upper millstone [down] upon Abimelech’s head and broke his skull.
54 Then he called hastily to the young man, his armor-bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword and slay me, so that men may not say 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 each man to his home.
