51. Now there was, in the midst of the city, a high tower, to which men and women were fleeing together, with all the leaders of the city. And, having very strongly sealed the gate, they were standing on the roof of the tower to defend themselves.
52. And Abimelech, drawing near the tower, fought valiantly. And approaching the gate, he strove to set it on fire.
53. And behold, one woman, throwing a fragment of a millstone from above, struck the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
