KJV - Judges 9:49

And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.

And everyone else, like the people, cut down their branches and joined Abimelech. They locked them in a stronghold and burned it down, killing all the people in the tower of Shechem - around a thousand men and women.
