  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Thebez 
  brightness,  a  place  some  11  miles  north-east  of  Shechem,  on  the 
  road  to  Scythopolis  the  modern  Tabas.  Abimelech  led  his  army 
  against  this  place  because  of  its  participation  in  the 
  conspiracy  of  the  men  of  Shechem;  but  as  he  drew  near  to  the 
  strong  tower  to  which  its  inhabitants  had  fled  for  safety,  and 
  was  about  to  set  fire  to  it  a  woman  cast  a  fragment  of 
  millstone  at  him  and  "all  to  brake  his  skull"  i.e.,  "altogether 
  brake,"  etc  His  armourbearer  thereupon  "thrust  him  through  and 
  he  died"  (Judg.  9:50-55).
