07:009:051 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.

07:009:052 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

07:009:053 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.

07:009:054 Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A women slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

07:009:055 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.

07:009:056 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:

07:009:057 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

07:010:001 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.

07:010:002 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

07:010:003 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
