Judges 9:53-57 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

56. Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech which he had done to his father [Gideon] by slaying his seventy brothers;

57. And all the wickedness of the men of Shechem God repaid upon their heads and caused to come upon them the curse of Jotham son of Jerubbaal. [Judg. 9:19, 20.]
