Verse 50 is found in chapter 9 of Judges. Abimelech attacks Thebez, and a woman throws a millstone onto his head from the tower, mortally wounding him. He asks his armor-bearer to kill him to avoid the disgrace of dying at the hands of a woman. The narrative explicitly states that God repaid Abimelech for the evil he had done to his brothers and repaid the people of Shechem for the evil they had supported. The story functions as the fulfillment of Jotham’s word.
