AI summary: Thebez matters because it is the final scene in the Abimelech narrative. The town resists him, a woman wounds him from the tower, and his death becomes a powerful reversal of his earlier brutality. The cross references present Thebez as a place of resistance, judgment, and ironic downfall.1
