6 Subsequently all the landowners of Sheʹchem and all the house of Milʹlo+ gathered together and went and made A·bimʹe·lech reign as king,+ close by the big tree,+ the pillar that was in Sheʹchem.+

45 And A·bimʹe·lech fought against the city all that day and got to capture the city; and he killed the people that were in it,+ after which he pulled the city down+ and sowed it with salt.+

49 So all the people cut down also each one a branch for himself and went following A·bimʹe·lech. Then they put them against the vault, and over them they set the vault on fire, so that all the men of the tower of Sheʹchem died too, about a thousand men and women.+
