+ | <li><b>Destruction of Competitors</b> – Avimelekh kills all seventy of his brothers, who might have competed with him to inherit Gidon's leadership, with only the youngest son, Yotam, escaping. Shaul orders the death of all the priests of Nov, whom he thought supported David, with only the son of Achimelekh, Evyatar, escaping.</li> | ||
+ | <li><b>Rebuke from the Mountain</b> – After escaping, Yotam stands on top of Mount Gerizim, and calls out to Avimelekh's cronies, Ba'alei Shekhem, accusing them of ungratefulness. While escaping, David calls out to Shaul and his followers from the top of the mountain, asking them why Shaul hunts him.</li> | ||
+ | <li><b>Death</b> – During his last battle, Avimelekh is hit by an enemy projectile. He then asks his arms-bearer to stab him, to prevent him from a worse fate (being killed by a woman). After his death, his followers depart. During Shaul's last battle, he is hit by the enemy archers. He then asks his arms-bearer to kill him, to prevent him from a worse fate (being tortured by the Pelishtim). After his death, his followers flee.</li> | ||

The term "נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו" (arms-bearer) and the verb דקר (stab) are also rather rare.<fn>Only two other characters, Yonatan and Yoav, have arms-bearers, and the verb דקר is found in only eight other places in Tanakh.</fn></li> | ||
