Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper

maidservant and said, ‘Hand over the one who struck down his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of the brother whom he killed. Then we will cut off the heir as
well!’ So they would
extinguish my one remaining
ember by not preserving my husband’s name or
posterity on the earth.”
