Bible Verses About Thebez

Then Avimelekh went to Tevetz, set up camp against Tevetz and captured it.

But there was a fortified tower inside the city; and all the men and women took refuge in it, everyone in the city. They shut themselves inside and went up onto the roof of the tower.

However, when Avimelekh approached the tower, attacked it, and then came up close to the tower's door in order to burn it down,

a woman dropped an upper millstone on Avimelekh's head, cracking his skull.

He quickly called out to the young man holding his armor, "Draw your sword, and finish me off, so that people won't say a woman killed me." So his attendant ran him through, and he died.

When the men of Isra'el saw that Avimelekh was dead, they all went back home.

This is how God paid back Avimelekh for the wrong he did to his father in murdering his seventy brothers.

Didn't you think about the person who struck Avimelekh the son of Yerubeshet, that a woman threw an upper millstone down on him from the wall, so that he died at Tevetz? Why did you go so near the wall?' If he says this, tell him, 'Your servant Uriyah is dead also.'"
