All the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire on them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Mt. Zalmon (Judges 9:48) stood near Shechem, though its exact location is uncertain. [Note: The New Bible Dictionary, 1962 ed., s.v. "Zalmon," by D. F. Payne.]
