Boughs laid at the stronghold the men of the tower of Shechem had entered, and the stronghold set on fire

세겜 망대의 사람들이 들어간 보장에 모든 백성이 나무가지를 대어 놓고 불을 놓음

Judges 9:46–49: when all the men of the tower of Shechem hear of it, they enter into the stronghold of the house of Elberith. Abimelech is told that all the men of the tower of Shechem are gathered together. Abimelech goes up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who are with him; and Abimelech takes an ax in his hand, and cuts down a bough from the trees, and takes it up, and lays it on his shoulder. Then he says to the people who are with him, “What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done!” All the people likewise each cut down his bough, follow Abimelech, and put them at the base of the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem die also, about a thousand men and women.
