Judges 9:49

So each of his men also cut off a branch and followed Abimelech. They put the branches ¹  against the stronghold and set fire to it. ²  All the people ³  of the Tower of Shechem died – about a thousand men and women.

Jud 9:15,20; Ga 5:15; Jas 3:16

¹ tn The words “the branches” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

² tn Heb “they kindled over them the stronghold with fire.”

³ tn Or “men,” but the word seems to have a more general sense here, as the conclusion to the sentence suggests.
