Judges 9:53-55

International Children’s Bible

⁵³ As Abimelech came near, a woman dropped a large stone for grinding grain on his head. The stone crushed Abimelech’s skull.

⁵⁴ He quickly called to the officer who carried his armor. He said, “Take out your sword and kill me. I don’t want people to say, ‘A woman killed Abimelech.’” So the officer stabbed Abimelech, and he died. ⁵⁵ When the people of Israel saw Abimelech was dead, they all returned home.
