Shofetim 9:46-48

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴⁶ And when all the ba’alei migdal Shechem heard that, they entered into the stronghold of the bais el brit.

⁴⁷ And it was told Avimelech, that all the ba’alei migdal Shechem were gathered together.

⁴⁸ And Avimelech got him up to Mt Tzalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Avimelech took axes in his yad, and cut down a branch from the etzim (trees), and lifted it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
