Jueces 9:53 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:53

And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone
Of the upper millstone, as the word signifies, which is observed by Jarchi and other Jewish commentators; this with other stones being carried up to the top of the tower, to do what execution they could with them: and a woman observing Abimelech making up to the door of the tower, took up this piece of millstone, and threw it down

upon Abimelech's head, and all to break his skull;
she did it with that view, though it may as well be rendered, or "she", or "it broke his skull" F18; it made a fracture in it, which was mortal. Abendana observes, and so others, that that was measure for measure, a righteous retaliation, that as he had slain seventy of his brethren on one stone, he should die by means of a stone.

51 Pero hab铆a una torre fuerte dentro de la ciudad, y todos los habitantes, hombres y mujeres, corrieron a refugiarse all铆. Se atrincheraron en su interior y subieron al techo de la torre.
52 Entonces Abimelec los sigui贸 para atacar la torre; pero cuando se preparaba para prenderle fuego a la entrada,
53 desde el techo, una mujer tir贸 una piedra de molino, que cay贸 sobre la cabeza de Abimelec, y le parti贸 el cr谩neo.
54 Enseguida 茅l le dijo a su joven escudero: 芦隆Saca tu espada y m谩tame! 隆Que no se diga que una mujer mat贸 a Abimelec!禄. As铆 que el joven lo atraves贸 con su espada, y 茅l muri贸.
55 Cuando los hombres de Abimelec lo vieron muerto, se desbandaron y regresaron a sus casas.
