The upper millstone a woman casts at Thebez, and the death of Abimelech

데베스에서 한 여인이 내려던진 맷돌 윗짝과 아비멜렉의 죽음

Judges 9:50–55: then Abimelech goes to Thebez and encamps against Thebez, and takes it. But there is a strong tower within the city, and all the men and women of the city flee there, and shut themselves in, and go up to the roof of the tower. Abimelech comes to the tower and fights against it, and comes near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire. A certain woman casts an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, and breaks his skull. Then he calls hastily to the young man, his armor bearer, and says to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, that men not say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ His young man thrust him through, and he died.” When the men of Israel see that Abimelech is dead, they each depart to his place. In the Korean Revised Version, Abimelech’s words end before the young man thrusts him through.
