Ylt Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Judges 9

1 and Abimelech son of Jerubbaal goeth to Shechem, unto his mother`s brethren, and speaketh unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mother`s father, saying,

2 `Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, Which is good for you -- the ruling over you of seventy men (all the sons of Jerubbaal), or the ruling over you of one man? -- and ye have remembered that I am your bone and your flesh.`

3 And his mother`s brethren speak concerning him, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, all these words, and their heart inclineth after Abimelech, for they said, `He is our brother;`

4 and they give to him seventy silverings out of the house of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hireth with them men, vain and unstable, and they go after him;

5 and he goeth into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slayeth his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubbaal, is left, for he was hidden.

6 And all the masters of Shechem are gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign for king at the oak of the camp which is in Shechem;

7 and they declare it to Jotham, and he goeth and standeth on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifteth up his voice, and calleth, and saith to them, `Hearken unto me, O masters of Shechem, and God doth hearken unto you:

8 `The trees have diligently gone to anoint over them a king, and they say to the olive, Reign thou over us.

9 And the olive saith to them, Have I ceased from my fatness, by which they honour gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?

10 And the trees say to the fig, Come thou, reign over us.

11 And the fig saith to them, Have I ceased from my sweetness, and my good increase, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?

12 `And the trees say to the vine, Come thou, reign over us.

13 And the vine saith to them, Have I ceased from my new wine, which is rejoicing gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?

14 And all the trees say unto the bramble, Come thou, reign over us.

15 And the bramble saith unto the trees, If in truth ye are anointing me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow; and if not -- fire cometh out from the bramble, and devoureth the cedars of Lebanon.

16 `And, now, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted, when ye make Abimelech king; and if ye have done good with Jerubbaal, and with his house; and if according to the deed of his hands ye have done to him --

17 because my father hath fought for you, and doth cast away his life from him, and deliver you from the hand of Midian;

18 and ye have risen against the house of my father to-day, and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of Shechem, because he is your brother --

19 yea, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and he doth rejoice -- even he -- in you;

20 and if not -- fire cometh out from Abimelech and devoureth the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo, and fire cometh out from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devoureth Abimelech.`

21 And Jotham hasteth, and fleeth, and goeth to Beer, and dwelleth there, from the face of Abimelech his brother.

22 And Abimelech is prince over Israel three years,

23 and God sendeth an evil spirit between Abimelech and the masters of Shechem, and the masters of Shechem deal treacherously with Abimelech,

24 for the coming in of the violence to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and of their blood to place it on Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and on the masters of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.

25 And the masters of Shechem set for him ambushes on the top of the hills, and rob every one who passeth over by them in the way, and it is declared to Abimelech.

26 And Gaal son of Ebed cometh -- also his brethren -- and they pass over into Shechem, and the masters of Shechem trust in him,

27 and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god, and eat and drink, and revile Abimelech.

28 And Gaal son of Ebed saith, `Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we serve him? is he not son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his commander? Serve ye the men of Hamor father of Shechem, and wherefore do we serve him -- we?

29 and oh that this people were in my hand -- then I turn Abimelech aside;` and he saith to Abimelech, `Increase thy host, and come out.`

30 And Zebul, prince of the city, heareth the words of Gaal son of Ebed, and his anger burneth,

31 and he sendeth messengers unto Abimelech deceitfully, saying, `Lo, Gaal son of Ebed and his brethren are coming into Shechem, and lo, they are fortifying the city against thee;

32 and, now, rise by night, thou and the people who are with thee, and lay wait in the field,

33 and it hath been, in the morning, about the rising of the sun, thou dost rise early, and hast pushed against the city; and lo, he and the people who are with him are going out unto thee -- and thou hast done to him as thy hand doth find.`

34 And Abimelech riseth, and all the people who are with him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem -- four detachments;

35 and Gaal son of Ebed goeth out, and standeth at the opening of the gate of the city, and Abimelech riseth -- also the people who are with him -- from the ambush,

36 and Gaal seeth the people, and saith unto Zebul, `Lo, people are coming down from the top of the hills;` and Zebul saith unto him, `The shadow of the hills thou art seeing like men.`

37 And Gaal addeth yet to speak, and saith, `Lo, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and another detachment is coming by the way of the oak of Meonenim.`

38 And Zebul saith unto him, `Where is now thy mouth, in that thou sayest, Who is Abimelech that we serve him? is not this the people against which thou hast kicked? go out, I pray thee now, and fight against it.`

39 And Gaal goeth out before the masters of Shechem, and fighteth against Abimelech,

40 and Abimelech pursueth him, and he fleeth from his presence, and many fall wounded -- unto the opening of the gate.

41 And Abimelech abideth in Arumah, and Zebul casteth out Gaal and his brethren from dwelling in Shechem.

42 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the people go out to the field, and they declare it to Abimelech,

43 and he taketh the people, and divideth them into three detachments, and layeth wait in a field, and looketh, and lo, the people are coming out from the city, and he riseth against them, and smiteth them.

44 And Abimelech and the detachments who are with him have pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city, and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the field, and smite them,

45 and Abimelech hath fought against the city all that day, and captureth the city, and the people who are in it he hath slain, and he breaketh down the city, and soweth it with salt.

46 And all the masters of the tower of Shechem hear, and go in unto the high place of the house of the god Berith,

47 and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together,

48 and Abimelech goeth up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people who are with him, and Abimelech taketh the great axe in his hand, and cutteth off a bough of the trees, and lifteth it up, and setteth it on his shoulder, and saith unto the people who are with him, `What ye have seen I have done -- haste, do ye like it.`

49 And all the people also cut down each one his bough, and go after Abimelech, and set them at the high place, and burn by these the high place with fire, and also all the men of the tower of Shechem die, about a thousand men and women.

50 And Abimelech goeth unto Thebez, and encampeth against Thebez, and captureth it,

51 and a strong tower hath been in the midst of the city, and thither flee do all the men and the women, and all the masters of the city, and they shut it behind them, and go up on the roof of the tower.

52 And Abimelech cometh unto the tower, and fighteth against it, and draweth nigh unto the opening of the tower to burn it with fire,

53 and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull,

54 and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his weapons, and saith to him, `Draw thy sword, and thou hast put me to death, lest they say of me -- A woman slew him;` and his young man pierced him through, and he dieth.

55 And the men of Israel see that Abimelech is dead, and go each one to his place;

56 and God turneth back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brethren;

57 and all the evil of the men of Shechem hath God turned back on their head, and come unto them doth the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubbaal.

1 And Abimelech ^H40 the son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 went ^H1980 to Shechem ^H7927 unto ^H413 his mother's ^H517 brethren, ^H251 and communed ^H1696 with ^H413 them , and with ^H413 all ^H3605 the family ^H4940 of the house ^H1004 of his mother's ^H517 father, ^H1 saying, ^H559

2 Speak ^H1696 , I pray you, ^H4994 in the ears ^H241 of all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 Whether ^H4100 is better ^H2896 for you , either that all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 of Jerubbaal, ^H3378 which are threescore and ten ^H7657 persons, ^H376 reign ^H4910 over you, or ^H518 that one ^H259 reign ^H4910 over you? remember ^H2142 also that ^H3588 I ^H589 am your bone ^H6106 and your flesh. ^H1320

3 And his mother's ^H517 brethren ^H251 spoke ^H1696 of ^H5921 him in the ears ^H241 of all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 ^H853 all ^H3605 these ^H428 words: ^H1697 and their hearts ^H3820 inclined to follow ^H5186 ^H310 Abimelech; ^H40 for ^H3588 they said, ^H559 He ^H1931 is our brother. ^H251

4 And they gave ^H5414 him threescore and ten ^H7657 pieces of silver ^H3701 out of the house ^H4480 ^H1004 of Baal- ^H1170 berith , wherewith Abimelech ^H40 hired ^H7936 vain ^H7386 and light ^H6348 persons, ^H376 which followed ^H1980 ^H310 him.

5 And he went ^H935 unto his father's ^H1 house ^H1004 at Ophrah, ^H6084 and slew ^H2026 ^H853 his brethren ^H251 the sons ^H1121 of Jerubbaal, ^H3378 being threescore and ten ^H7657 persons, ^H376 upon ^H5921 one ^H259 stone: ^H68 notwithstanding yet Jotham ^H3147 the youngest ^H6996 son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 was left; ^H3498 for ^H3588 he hid himself. ^H2244

6 And all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 gathered together, ^H622 and all ^H3605 the house of Millo, ^H1037 and went, ^H1980 and made ^H4427 ^H853 Abimelech ^H40 king, ^H4428 by ^H5973 the plain ^H436 of the pillar ^H5324 that ^H834 was in Shechem. ^H7927

7 And when they told ^H5046 it to Jotham, ^H3147 he went ^H1980 and stood ^H5975 in the top ^H7218 of mount ^H2022 Gerizim, ^H1630 and lifted up ^H5375 his voice, ^H6963 and cried, ^H7121 and said ^H559 unto them, Hearken ^H8085 unto ^H413 me , ye men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 that God ^H430 may hearken ^H8085 unto ^H413 you.

8 The trees ^H6086 went forth ^H1980 ^H1980 on a time to anoint ^H4886 a king ^H4428 over ^H5921 them ; and they said ^H559 unto the olive tree, ^H2132 Reign ^H4427 thou over ^H5921 us.

9 But the olive tree ^H2132 said ^H559 unto them , Should I leave ^H2308 ^H853 my fatness, ^H1880 wherewith ^H834 by me they honor ^H3513 God ^H430 and man, ^H376 and go ^H1980 to be promoted ^H5128 over ^H5921 the trees ^H6086 ?

10 And the trees ^H6086 said ^H559 to the fig tree, ^H8384 Come ^H1980 thou, ^H859 and reign ^H4427 over ^H5921 us.

11 But the fig tree ^H8384 said ^H559 unto them , Should I forsake ^H2308 ^H853 my sweetness, ^H4987 and my good ^H2896 fruit, ^H8570 and go ^H1980 to be promoted ^H5128 over ^H5921 the trees ^H6086 ?

12 Then said ^H559 the trees ^H6086 unto the vine, ^H1612 Come ^H1980 thou, ^H859 and reign ^H4427 over ^H5921 us.

13 And the vine ^H1612 said ^H559 unto them , Should I leave ^H2308 ^H853 my wine, ^H8492 which cheereth ^H8055 God ^H430 and man, ^H376 and go ^H1980 to be promoted ^H5128 over ^H5921 the trees ^H6086 ?

14 Then said ^H559 all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 unto ^H413 the bramble, ^H329 Come ^H1980 thou, ^H859 and reign ^H4427 over ^H5921 us.

15 And the bramble ^H329 said ^H559 unto ^H413 the trees, ^H6086 If ^H518 in truth ^H571 ye ^H859 anoint ^H4886 me king ^H4428 over ^H5921 you, then come ^H935 and put your trust ^H2620 in my shadow: ^H6738 and if ^H518 not, ^H369 let fire ^H784 come out ^H3318 of ^H4480 the bramble, ^H329 and devour ^H398 ^H853 the cedars ^H730 of Lebanon. ^H3844

16 Now ^H6258 therefore, if ^H518 ye have done ^H6213 truly ^H571 and sincerely, ^H8549 in that ye have made Abimelech king ^H4427 ^H853 ^H40 , and if ^H518 ye have dealt ^H6213 well ^H2896 with ^H5973 Jerubbaal ^H3378 and his house, ^H1004 and have done ^H6213 unto him according to the deserving ^H1576 of his hands; ^H3027

17 ( For ^H834 my father ^H1 fought ^H3898 for ^H5921 you , and adventured ^H7993 ^H853 his life ^H5315 far ^H4480 ^H5048 , and delivered ^H5337 you out of the hand ^H4480 ^H3027 of Midian: ^H4080

18 And ye ^H859 are risen up ^H6965 against ^H5921 my father's ^H1 house ^H1004 this day, ^H3117 and have slain ^H2026 ^H853 his sons, ^H1121 threescore and ten ^H7657 persons, ^H376 upon ^H5921 one ^H259 stone, ^H68 and have made ^H853 Abimelech, ^H40 the son ^H1121 of his maidservant, ^H519 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 because ^H3588 he ^H1931 is your brother; ^H251 )

19 If ^H518 ye then have dealt ^H6213 truly ^H571 and sincerely ^H8549 with ^H5973 Jerubbaal ^H3378 and with ^H5973 his house ^H1004 this ^H2088 day, ^H3117 then rejoice ^H8055 ye in Abimelech, ^H40 and let him ^H1931 also ^H1571 rejoice ^H8055 in you:

20 But if ^H518 not, ^H369 let fire ^H784 come out ^H3318 from Abimelech ^H4480 ^H40 , and devour ^H398 ^H853 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 and the house ^H1004 of Millo; ^H4407 and let fire ^H784 come out ^H3318 from the men ^H4480 ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 and from the house ^H4480 ^H1004 of Millo, ^H4407 and devour ^H398 ^H853 Abimelech. ^H40

21 And Jotham ^H3147 ran away, ^H5127 and fled, ^H1272 and went ^H1980 to Beer, ^H876 and dwelt ^H3427 there, ^H8033 for fear ^H4480 ^H6440 of Abimelech ^H40 his brother. ^H251

22 When Abimelech ^H40 had reigned ^H7786 three ^H7969 years ^H8141 over ^H5921 Israel, ^H3478

23 Then God ^H430 sent ^H7971 an evil ^H7451 spirit ^H7307 between ^H996 Abimelech ^H40 and the men ^H1167 of Shechem; ^H7927 and the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 dealt treacherously ^H898 with Abimelech: ^H40

24 That the cruelty ^H2555 done to the threescore and ten ^H7657 sons ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 might come, ^H935 and their blood ^H1818 be laid ^H7760 upon ^H5921 Abimelech ^H40 their brother, ^H251 which ^H834 slew ^H2026 them ; and upon ^H5921 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 which ^H834 aided ^H2388 ^H853 ^H3027 him in the killing ^H2026 of ^H853 his brethren. ^H251

25 And the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 set ^H7760 liers in wait ^H693 for him in ^H5921 the top ^H7218 of the mountains, ^H2022 and they robbed ^H1497 ^H853 all ^H3605 that ^H834 came along ^H5674 that way ^H1870 by ^H5921 them : and it was told ^H5046 Abimelech. ^H40

26 And Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 came ^H935 with his brethren, ^H251 and went over ^H5674 to Shechem: ^H7927 and the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 put their confidence ^H982 in him.

27 And they went out ^H3318 into the fields, ^H7704 and gathered ^H1219 ^H853 their vineyards, ^H3754 and trod ^H1869 the grapes , and made ^H6213 merry, ^H1974 and went into ^H935 the house ^H1004 of their god, ^H430 and did eat ^H398 and drink, ^H8354 and cursed ^H7043 ^H853 Abimelech. ^H40

28 And Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 said, ^H559 Who ^H4310 is Abimelech, ^H40 and who ^H4310 is Shechem, ^H7927 that ^H3588 we should serve ^H5647 him? is not ^H3808 he the son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 ? and Zebul ^H2083 his officer ^H6496 ? serve ^H5647 ^H853 the men ^H376 of Hamor ^H2544 the father ^H1 of Shechem: ^H7928 for why ^H4069 should we ^H587 serve ^H5647 him?

29 And would to God ^H4310 ^H5414 ^H853 this ^H2088 people ^H5971 were under my hand ^H3027 ! then would I remove ^H5493 ^H853 Abimelech. ^H40 And he said ^H559 to Abimelech, ^H40 Increase ^H7235 thine army, ^H6635 and come out. ^H3318

30 And when Zebul ^H2083 the ruler ^H8269 of the city ^H5892 heard ^H8085 ^H853 the words ^H1697 of Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed, ^H5651 his anger ^H639 was kindled. ^H2734

31 And he sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 unto ^H413 Abimelech ^H40 privily, ^H8649 saying, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 and his brethren ^H251 be come ^H935 to Shechem; ^H7927 and, behold, ^H2009 they fortify ^H6696 ^H853 the city ^H5892 against ^H5921 thee.

32 Now ^H6258 therefore up ^H6965 by night, ^H3915 thou ^H859 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 is with ^H854 thee , and lie in wait ^H693 in the field: ^H7704

33 And it shall be, ^H1961 that in the morning, ^H1242 as soon as the sun ^H8121 is up, ^H2224 thou shalt rise early, ^H7925 and set ^H6584 upon ^H5921 the city: ^H5892 and, behold, ^H2009 when he ^H1931 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 is with ^H854 him come out ^H3318 against ^H413 thee , then mayest thou do ^H6213 to them as ^H834 thou shalt find ^H4672 occasion. ^H3027

34 And Abimelech ^H40 rose up, ^H6965 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H5973 him , by night, ^H3915 and they laid wait ^H693 against ^H5921 Shechem ^H7927 in four ^H702 companies. ^H7218

35 And Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 went out, ^H3318 and stood ^H5975 in the entering ^H6607 of the gate ^H8179 of the city: ^H5892 and Abimelech ^H40 rose up, ^H6965 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H854 him, from ^H4480 lying in wait. ^H3993

36 And when Gaal ^H1603 saw ^H7200 ^H853 the people, ^H5971 he said ^H559 to ^H413 Zebul, ^H2083 Behold, ^H2009 there come people down ^H3381 ^H5971 from the top ^H4480 ^H7218 of the mountains. ^H2022 And Zebul ^H2083 said ^H559 unto ^H413 him, Thou ^H859 seest ^H7200 ^H853 the shadow ^H6738 of the mountains ^H2022 as if they were men. ^H376

37 And Gaal ^H1603 spoke ^H1696 again ^H3254 and said, ^H559 See ^H2009 there come people down ^H3381 ^H5971 by ^H4480 ^H5973 the middle ^H2872 of the land, ^H776 and another ^H259 company ^H7218 come ^H935 along by ^H4480 ^H5973 the plain ^H436 of Meonenim. ^H6049

38 Then said ^H559 Zebul ^H2083 unto ^H413 him, Where ^H346 is now ^H645 thy mouth, ^H6310 wherewith ^H834 thou saidst, ^H559 Who ^H4310 is Abimelech, ^H40 that ^H3588 we should serve ^H5647 him? is not ^H3808 this ^H2088 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 thou hast despised ^H3988 ? go out, ^H3318 I pray ^H4994 now, ^H6258 and fight ^H3898 with them.

39 And Gaal ^H1603 went out ^H3318 before ^H6440 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 and fought ^H3898 with Abimelech. ^H40

40 And Abimelech ^H40 chased ^H7291 him , and he fled ^H5127 before ^H4480 ^H6440 him , and many ^H7227 were overthrown ^H5307 and wounded, ^H2491 even unto ^H5704 the entering ^H6607 of the gate. ^H8179

41 And Abimelech ^H40 dwelt ^H3427 at Arumah: ^H725 and Zebul ^H2083 thrust out ^H1644 ^H853 Gaal ^H1603 and his brethren, ^H251 that they should not dwell ^H4480 ^H3427 in Shechem. ^H7927

42 And it came to pass ^H1961 on the morrow ^H4480 ^H4283 , that the people ^H5971 went out ^H3318 into the field; ^H7704 and they told ^H5046 Abimelech. ^H40

43 And he took ^H3947 ^H853 the people, ^H5971 and divided ^H2673 them into three ^H7969 companies, ^H7218 and laid wait ^H693 in the field, ^H7704 and looked, ^H7200 and, behold, ^H2009 the people ^H5971 were come forth ^H3318 out of ^H4480 the city; ^H5892 and he rose up ^H6965 against ^H5921 them , and smote ^H5221 them.

44 And Abimelech, ^H40 and the company ^H7218 that ^H834 was with ^H5973 him , rushed forward, ^H6584 and stood ^H5975 in the entering ^H6607 of the gate ^H8179 of the city: ^H5892 and the two ^H8147 other companies ^H7218 ran ^H6584 upon ^H5921 all ^H3605 the people that ^H834 were in the fields, ^H7704 and slew ^H5221 them.

45 And Abimelech ^H40 fought ^H3898 against the city ^H5892 all ^H3605 that ^H1931 day; ^H3117 and he took ^H3920 ^H853 the city, ^H5892 and slew ^H2026 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 was therein , and beat down ^H5422 ^H853 the city, ^H5892 and sowed ^H2232 it with salt. ^H4417

46 And when all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of the tower ^H4026 of Shechem ^H7927 heard ^H8085 that , they entered ^H935 into ^H413 a hold ^H6877 of the house ^H1004 of the god ^H410 Berith. ^H1286

47 And it was told ^H5046 Abimelech, ^H40 that ^H3588 all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of the tower ^H4026 of Shechem ^H7927 were gathered together. ^H6908

48 And Abimelech ^H40 got him up ^H5927 to mount ^H2022 Zalmon, ^H6756 he ^H1931 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H854 him ; and Abimelech ^H40 took ^H3947 ^H853 an axe ^H7134 in his hand, ^H3027 and cut down ^H3772 a bough ^H7754 from the trees, ^H6086 and took ^H5375 it , and laid ^H7760 it on ^H5921 his shoulder, ^H7926 and said ^H559 unto ^H413 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H5973 him, What ^H4100 ye have seen ^H7200 me do, ^H6213 make haste, ^H4116 and do ^H6213 as I ^H3644 have done .

49 And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 likewise ^H1571 cut down ^H3772 every man ^H376 his bough, ^H7754 and followed ^H1980 ^H310 Abimelech, ^H40 and put ^H7760 them to ^H5921 the hold, ^H6877 and set ^H3341 ^H853 the hold ^H6877 on fire ^H784 upon ^H5921 them ; so that all ^H3605 the men ^H376 of the tower ^H4026 of Shechem ^H7927 died ^H4191 also, ^H1571 about a thousand ^H505 men ^H376 and women. ^H802

50 Then went ^H1980 Abimelech ^H40 to ^H413 Thebez, ^H8405 and encamped ^H2583 against Thebez, ^H8405 and took ^H3920 it.

51 But there was ^H1961 a strong ^H5797 tower ^H4026 within ^H8432 the city, ^H5892 and thither ^H8033 fled ^H5127 all ^H3605 the men ^H376 and women, ^H802 and all ^H3605 they ^H1167 of the city, ^H5892 and shut ^H5462 it to ^H1157 them , and got them up ^H5927 to ^H5921 the top ^H1406 of the tower. ^H4026

52 And Abimelech ^H40 came ^H935 unto ^H5704 the tower, ^H4026 and fought ^H3898 against it , and went hard ^H5066 unto ^H5704 the door ^H6607 of the tower ^H4026 to burn ^H8313 it with fire. ^H784

53 And a certain ^H259 woman ^H802 cast ^H7993 a piece ^H6400 of a millstone ^H7393 upon ^H5921 Abimelech's ^H40 head, ^H7218 and all to broke ^H7533 ^H853 his skull. ^H1538

54 Then he called ^H7121 hastily ^H4120 unto ^H413 the young man ^H5288 his armorbearer ^H5375 ^H3627 , and said ^H559 unto him, Draw ^H8025 thy sword, ^H2719 and slay ^H4191 me, that ^H6435 men say ^H559 not of me , A woman ^H802 slew ^H2026 him . And his young man ^H5288 thrust him through, ^H1856 and he died. ^H4191

55 And when the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 saw ^H7200 that ^H3588 Abimelech ^H40 was dead, ^H4191 they departed ^H1980 every man ^H376 unto his place. ^H4725

56 Thus God ^H430 rendered ^H7725 ^H853 the wickedness ^H7451 of Abimelech, ^H40 which ^H834 he did ^H6213 unto his father, ^H1 in slaying ^H2026 ^H853 his seventy ^H7657 brethren: ^H251

57 And all ^H3605 the evil ^H7451 of the men ^H376 of Shechem ^H7927 did God ^H430 render ^H7725 upon their heads: ^H7218 and upon ^H413 them came ^H935 the curse ^H7045 of Jotham ^H3147 the son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal. ^H3378
