Judges 9:48-49 So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him, and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the 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, haste! do likewise.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁸ So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him, and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the 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, haste! do likewise. ⁴⁹ So, even all the people cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and laid them over the basement, and set it on fire over them who were therein,––even all the men of the tower of Shechem died about a thousand men and women.
