Judges 9:53 But a woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.
2 Samuel 11:21 Who was the one to strike Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If so, then you are to say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.’”
