Judges 9:53 in Context — Judges 9
51 Il y avait au milieu de la ville une forte tour, où se réfugièrent tous les habitants de la ville, hommes et femmes; ils fermèrent sur eux, et montèrent sur le toit de la tour.
52 Abimélec parvint jusqu’à la tour; il l’attaqua, et s’approcha de la porte pour y mettre le feu.
53 Alors une femme lança sur la tête d’Abimélec un morceau de meule de moulin, et lui brisa le crâne.
54 Aussitôt il appela le jeune homme qui portait ses armes, et lui dit: Tire ton épée, et donne-moi la mort, de peur qu’on ne dise de moi: C’est une femme qui l’a tué. Le jeune homme le perça, et il mourut.
55 Quand les hommes d’Israël virent qu’Abimélec était mort, ils s’en allèrent chacun chez soi.
