Judges 9:48-51
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
48
So Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who
were
with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and cut down a branch
from the
trees, and lifted it and put
it
on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who
were
with him, 'What you saw me do, hurry
and
do likewise.'
49
So all the people also cut down, each one, his branch and followed Abimelech, and put
them
on top of the inner chamber and set the inner chamber on fire over those
inside,
so that all the people of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.
50
Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he camped against Thebez and captured it.
51
But there was a strong tower in the center of the city, and all the men and women with all the leaders of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up on the roof of the tower.
King James Version
Chapter 9
48
And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
49
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
50
Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
51
But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.

Chapter 9
48
So Abimelech and all the troops who were with him went up to Mount Zalmon. Abimelech took his ax in his hand and cut a branch from the trees. He picked up the branch, put it on his shoulder, and said to the troops who were with him, "Hurry and do what you have seen me do."
49
Each of the troops also cut his own branch and followed Abimelech. They put the branches against the inner chamber and set it on fire; about a thousand men and women died, including all the men of the Tower of Shechem.
50
Abimelech went to Thebez, camped against it, and captured it.
51
There was a strong tower inside the city, and all the men, women, and citizens of the city fled there. They locked themselves in and went up to the roof of the tower.

48
so he led his forces to Mount Zalmon. He took an ax and chopped some branches from a tree, then put them on his shoulder. 'Quick, do as I have done!' he told his men.
49
So each of them cut down some branches, following Abimelech’s example. They piled the branches against the walls of the temple and set them on fire. So all the people who had lived in the tower of Shechem died — about 1,000 men and women.
50
Then Abimelech attacked the town of Thebez and captured it.
51
But there was a strong tower inside the town, and all the men and women — the entire population — fled to it. They barricaded themselves in and climbed up to the roof of the tower.

49
So every one of the people cut down his bundle and following Abimelech put it against the stronghold, and they set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died, about 1,000 men and women.

50
Next Abimelek went to Thebez and besieged it and captured it.
