NASB
"When all the leaders of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered the inner chamber of the temple of El-berith."
— Judges 9:46, NASB
“And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.”
“And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard thereof, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith. ”
“When all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith.”
“When all the leaders of the Tower of Shechem heard the news, they went to the stronghold of the temple of El-Berith.”
“And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem, had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith, where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.”
“Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.”
“And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.”
So he took his people and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field; when he looked and saw the people coming out from the city, he arose against them and slew them.
Then Abimelech and the company who was with him dashed forward and stood in the entrance of the city gate; the other two companies then dashed against all who were in the field and slew them.
Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people who were in it; then he razed the city and sowed it with salt.
When all the leaders of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered the inner chamber of the temple of El-berith.
It was told Abimelech that all the leaders of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
So Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and cut down a branch from the trees, and lifted it and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, "What you have seen me do, hurry and do likewise."
All the people also cut down each one his branch and followed Abimelech, and put them on the inner chamber and set the inner chamber on fire over those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.
