पवित्र बाइबिल

न्यायियों 9:51

51 परन्तु एक नगर के बीच एक दृढ़ गुम्मट था, सो क्या स्त्री पुरूष, नगर के सब लोग भागकर उस में घुसे; और उसे बन्द करके गुम्मट की छत पर चढ़ गए।

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But there was a strong tower within the city,.... The tower of Shechem was without the city, but this within, as towers generally are:

and hither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city; men, women, and children, man and maid servants, all the inhabitants of the city; the tower being a large place, having not only many rooms in it, but perhaps a large area in the midst of it, as well as it had battlements on the top of it:

and shut it to them; the gates of it, and which no doubt they strongly barred and bolted, to keep out the enemy:

and gat them up to the top of the tower; to observe the motions of Abimelech, and annoy him as much as they could with what they carried with them, as stones, and the like.
