He said to the people with him, “What you have seen me do, do quickly as I have done.”Judges 9:49So all the people also cut down each a branch and followed Abimelech and put them on the stronghold, and set fire to the stronghold with them. So all the people in the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.
