Verse 56 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.

Also bezahlte Gott Abimelech das Übel, das er an seinem Vater getan hatte, da er seine siebzig Brüder erwürgte;
Así pues pagó Dios a Abimelech el mal que hizo contra su padre matando a sus setenta hermanos.
Así Dios hizo recaer sobre Abimelec el mal que había hecho a su padre al matar a sus setenta hermanos.
Ainsi Dieu fit retomber sur Abimélec le mal qu'il avait fait à son père, en tuant ses soixante-dix frères,
Così Iddio fece la retribuzione ad Abimelec, del male ch’egli avea commesso contro a suo padre, uccidendo i suoi settanta fratelli.
Assim Deus fez tornar sobre Abimeleque o mal que tinha feito a seu pai, matando a seus setenta irmãos.
這樣,上帝報應了 亞比米勒 向他父親所做的惡事,就是殺了自己七十個兄弟。
