9 In time A·bimʹe·lech+ the son of Jer·ub·baʹal went to Sheʹchem+ to the brothers of his mother and began speaking to them and to all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying:

21 Who was it that struck down A·bimʹe·lech+ the son of Je·rubʹbe·sheth?*+ Was it not a woman that pitched an upper millstone upon him+ from on top of the wall so that he died at Theʹbez?+ Why did YOU men have to go so close to the wall?’ you must also say, ‘Your servant U·riʹah the Hitʹtite died too.’”+
