Judges 9:37-43
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
37
And Gaal spoke yet again and said, 'Look, people are coming down from the highest part of the land, and one unit is coming by way of the diviners’ oak.'
38
Then Zebul said to him, 'Where then is your boasting with which you said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people whom you rejected? Go out now and fight them!'
39
So Gaal went out in the sight of the leaders of Shechem and fought Abimelech.
40
But Abimelech chased him, and he fled from him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.
41
Then Abimelech stayed in Arumah, but Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives so that they could not stay in Shechem.
42
Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was reported to Abimelech.
43
So he took his people and divided them into three units, and lay in wait in the field; when he looked and saw the people coming out from the city, he attacked them and killed them.
King James Version
Chapter 9
37
And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
38
Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
39
And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
40
And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.
41
And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
43
And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
37
Then Gaal spoke again, "Look, troops are coming down from the central part of the land, and one unit is coming from the direction of the Diviners’ Oak."
38
Zebul replied, "What do you have to say now? You said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Aren’t these the troops you despised? Now go and fight them!"
39
So Gaal went out leading the citizens of Shechem and fought against Abimelech,
40
but Abimelech pursued him, and Gaal fled before him. Numerous bodies were strewn as far as the entrance of the city gate.
41
Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers from Shechem.
42
The next day when the people of Shechem went into the countryside, this was reported to Abimelech.
43
He took the troops, divided them into three companies, and waited in ambush in the countryside. He looked, and the people were coming out of the city, so he arose against them and struck them down.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
37
But again Gaal said, 'No, people are coming down from the hills. And another group is coming down the road past the Diviners’ Oak. '
38
Then Zebul turned on him and asked, 'Now where is that big mouth of yours? Wasn’t it you that said, ‘Who is Abimelech, and why should we be his servants?’ The men you mocked are right outside the city! Go out and fight them!'
39
So Gaal led the leading citizens of Shechem into battle against Abimelech.
40
But Abimelech chased him, and many of Shechem’s men were wounded and fell along the road as they retreated to the city gate.
41
Abimelech returned to Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem.
42
The next day the people of Shechem went out into the fields to battle. When Abimelech heard about it,
43
he divided his men into three groups and set an ambush in the fields. When Abimelech saw the people coming out of the city, he and his men jumped up from their hiding places and attacked them.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
37
Gaal 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."
38
Then 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."
39
And Gaal went out at the head of the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.
40
And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him. And many fell wounded, up to the entrance of the gate.
41
And Abimelech lived at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives, so that they could not dwell at Shechem.
42
On the following day, the people went out into the field, and Abimelech was told.
43
He took his people and divided them into three companies and set an ambush in the fields. And he looked and saw the people coming out of the city. So he rose against them and killed them.
New International Version

37
But Gaal spoke up again: "Look, people are coming down from the central hill, and a company is coming from the direction of the diviners’ tree."
38
Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your big talk now, you who said, ‘Who is Abimelek that we should be subject to him?’ Aren’t these the men you ridiculed? Go out and fight them!"
39
So Gaal led out the citizens of Shechem and fought Abimelek.
40
Abimelek chased him all the way to the entrance of the gate, and many were killed as they fled.
41
Then Abimelek stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his clan out of Shechem.
42
The next day the people of Shechem went out to the fields, and this was reported to Abimelek.
43
So he took his men, divided them into three companies and set an ambush in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he rose to attack them.
