Judges 9:34-40

34So Abimelech and all the people who were with him got up during the night, and set up an ambush against Shechem, in four companies.

35Now Gaal the son of Ebed came out and stood in the entrance of the city gate; then Abimelech and the people who were with him got up from the ambush.

36When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from the mountaintops.” But Zebul said to him, “You are only seeing the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.”

37Gaal spoke again and said, “Look! People are coming down from the highest part of the land, and one company is coming by way of the sorcerers’ oak tree.”

38Then Zebul said to Gaal, “Where is your [boasting] mouth now, you who said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them!”

39So Gaal went out ahead of the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.

40Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded as far as the entrance of the gate.
