*
And Abim '
elech fought against the city all that day ;
he took the city ,
and killed the people that were in it ;
and he razed the city and sowed it with salt .
*
When all the people of the Tower of Shechem heard of it ,
they entered the stronghold of the house of El-be '
rith .
*
Abim '
elech was told that all the people of the Tower of Shechem were gathered together .
*
And Abim '
elech went up to Mount Zalmon ,
he and all the men that were with him ;
and Abim '
elech took an axe in his hand ,
and cut down a bundle of brushwood ,
and took it up and laid it on his shoulder .
And he said to the men that were with him , "
What you have seen me do ,
make haste to do ,
as I have done ."
*
So every one of the people cut down his bundle and following Abim '
elech put it against the stronghold ,
and they set the stronghold on fire over them ,
so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died ,
about a thousand men and women .
