Shechem: the city with quite a history! It was here that Abraham encamped. Here that Jacob's daughter, Dinah, was humbled. Here where Joseph's bones were buried. Here that God established a city of refuge. Here that Joshua addressed the people prior to his death. And here that the inhabitants took the basest son of Gideon, Abimelech, and made him a ruler. His brother, Jotham, described him as the bramble that ruled over the trees of the orchard and garden.
It took a woman armed with a piece of millstone to kill him.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
