Judges 9:48

And Abimelech got him up to Mount Zalmon ,.... A mountain near Shechem, and thought to be the same with Salmon in Psalm 68:14 which seems to have had its name from the shade of the trees which grew upon it:

he and all the people that were with him ; his whole army:

and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees ; which grew upon Mount Zalmon:

and took it, and laid it on his shoulders ; and carried it along with him:

and said unto the people that were with him, what ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done ; take an axe, and every man cut down a bough with all possible haste, and lay it on his shoulder.
