Judges 9:47-49

The Voice

⁴⁷ Abimelech learned that all the leaders were in the tower, and ⁴⁸ he took his men up Mount Zalmon. There he took an ax, cut a bundle of firewood, and hoisted it atop his shoulders, ordering his men to quickly do the same. ⁴⁹ When they had all cut and loaded their wood, they followed Abimelech back to the stronghold, where they piled the wood against the walls and set fire to it, killing about 1,000 men and women inside the tower of Shechem.
