⁵³ and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull,

⁵⁴ and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his weapons, and saith to him, `Draw thy sword, and thou hast put me to death, lest they say of me -- A woman slew him;' and his young man pierced him through, and he dieth.
