Judges 9:52-55 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

52. Abimelech and his men came to the tower to attack it. Abimelech went up to the door of the tower to burn it.

53. But, while Abimelech was standing at the door of the tower, a woman on the roof dropped a grinding stone on his head. The grinding stone crushed his skull.

54. Abimelech quickly said to the servant who carried his weapons, “Take out your sword and kill me. I want you to kill me so that people will not say, ‘A woman killed Abimelech.’” So the servant stabbed Abimelech with his sword, and he died.

55. The Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, so they all went back home.
