The Scriptures 1998

Judges 9:53-57 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

53. But a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on the head of Aḇimeleḵ, and crushed his skull.

54. He then immediately called the young man, his armour-bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ ” And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

55. And when the men of Yisra’ĕl saw that Aḇimeleḵ was dead, each one went to his own place.

56. Thus did Elohim repay the evil of Aḇimeleḵ, which he had done to his father to slay his seventy brothers.

57. And all the evil of the men of Sheḵem Elohim turned back on their own heads, and the curse of Yotham son of Yerubba‛al came on them.
