Abimelech got him 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 bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder: and he said to the people who were with him, What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.

So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all of the people who with him, and Abimelech took axes in his hand. And he cut a branch of the trees and lifted it and set on his shoulder and said to the people who with him, “What you have seen I have done, hurry, do like me.”
