Judges 9:46-48
New Catholic Bible
46 When the men in the tower of Shechem[a] heard about this, they entered the stronghold in the temple of El-berith. 47 Abimelech was told that all the men from the tower of Shechem were gathered together, 48 so Abimelech and all the people who were with him climbed up Mount Zalmon. Abimelech took an ax in his hand and cut down a branch from a tree, and he carried it on his shoulder. He said to the people who were with him, “Hurry up and do what I just did.”
