Judges 9:47-49
New International Reader's Version
47 Abimelek heard that they had gathered together there. 48 He and all his men went up Mount Zalmon. He got an ax and cut off some branches. He carried them on his shoulders. He ordered the men with him to do the same thing. “Quick!” he said. “Do what you have seen me do!” 49 So all the men cut branches and followed Abimelek.

All of them died.
