Judges 9:46-48

Lexham English Bible

⁴⁶ When all the lords of the tower of Shechem heard, they went to the vault^[a] of the temple^[b] of El-Berith. ⁴⁷ It was told to Abimelech that all the lords of the tower of Shechem had gathered. ⁴⁸ So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all his army that were with him, and Abimelech took the ax^[c] in his hand and cut down a bundle of brushwood, and he lifted it and put it on his shoulder. And he said to the army that was with him, “What you have seen me do, quickly do also.”
