⁴⁴ Then Abimelech and the company with him advanced forward and stood in the entrance of the city gate; the two other companies attacked all who were in the field and killed them. ⁴⁵ Abimelech fought against the city that entire day. He took the city and killed the people who were in it; he demolished the city and ^[a]sowed it with salt.

⁴⁶ When all the leaders of the Tower of Shechem heard about it, they entered the inner chamber (stronghold) of the ^[b]temple of El-berith (the god of a covenant).
