📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Judges, Abimelech, the son of Gideon, seized power through violence by killing his seventy brothers and ruling over Shechem, which led to internal conflicts and rebellion. During a battle at Thebez, he was mortally wounded when a woman dropped a millstone on his head from a tower, an event that highlighted the irony of his downfall. Desperate to preserve his reputation and avoid the shame of being killed by a woman, he commanded his armor-bearer to end his life immediately.
