Battle of Shechem

The Battle of Shechem was the last battle in the Hebrew Rebellion. It took place shortly after the Battle of Jerusalem, where the Kingdom of Yahweh's leader Zeror was killed. After that, most remaining rebel holdouts were quickly cleared out with little resistance by the Edomite or Egyptian forces.
Shechem was the only city holding out by Shemu IV, with Zeror's son Abiel leading the remaining few hundred fighters. However, once Ramesses arrived with an army of over a dozen thousand Egyptian soldiers, the city was quickly taken. After a short skirmish, most of the defendants were killed, though Abiel managed to escape with some of his followers. Still, this marked the end of the Kingdom of Yahweh and the Hebrew Rebellion, a short lived attempt to create a monotheist state in Canaan.
