Judges 9:33-41
English Standard Version
34So Abimelech and all the men who were with him rose up by night and set an ambush against Shechem in four companies.
35And Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city, and Abimelech and the people who were with him rose from the ambush.
36And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the mountaintops!" And Zebul said to him, "You mistake the shadow of the mountains for men."
37Gaal spoke again and said, "Look, people are coming down from the center of the land, and one company is coming from the direction of the Diviners ' Oak."
38Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your mouth now, you who said, ‘Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Are not these the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them."
39And Gaal went out at the head of the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.
40And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him. And many fell wounded, up to the entrance of the gate.
41And Abimelech lived at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives, so that they could not dwell at Shechem.
