Judges 9:53-55
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
53 And behold a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
54 And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him.
55 And when he was dead, all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes.
