And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Entonces toda la gente también cortó ramas, igual que había hecho Abimelec, y lo siguieron. Apilaron las ramas contra la fortaleza y le prendieron fuego con la gente adentro. Así murieron todos los que estaban en la torre de Siquem—como mil hombres y mujeres.
Abimelec y su gente quemaron la torre de Siquem, matando a aproximadamente mil personas que estaban refugiadas adentro.
