Juges 9:34-45

34καὶ ἀνέστη Αβιμελεχ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ αὐτοῦ νυκτὸς καὶ ἐνήδρευσαν ἐπὶ Σικιμα τέσσαρας ἀρχάς.

35καὶ ἐγένετο πρωὶ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Γααλ υἱὸς Αβεδ καὶ ἔστη πρὸς τῇ θύρᾳ τῆς πύλης τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἀνέστη Αβιμελεχ καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν ἐνέδρων.

36καὶ εἶδεν Γααλ υἱὸς Αβεδ τὸν λαὸν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ζεβουλ Ἰδοὺ λαὸς καταβαίνων ἀπὸ τῶν κορυφῶν τῶν ὀρέων. καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ζεβουλ Τὴν σκιὰν τῶν ὀρέων σὺ ὁρᾷς ὡς ἄνδρας.

37καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι Γααλ τοῦ λαλῆσαι καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ λαὸς καταβαίνων κατὰ θάλασσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐχόμενα τοῦ ὀμφαλοῦ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀρχὴ μία παραγίνεται ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ δρυὸς ἀποβλεπόντων.

38καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ζεβουλ Ποῦ ἐστιν νῦν τὸ στόμα σου τὸ λέγον Τίς ἐστιν Αβιμελεχ, ὅτι δουλεύσομεν αὐτῷ ; οὐκ ἰδοὺ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ λαός, ὃν ἐξουδένωσας ; ἔξελθε νῦν καὶ πολέμει πρὸς αὐτόν.

39καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Γααλ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἀνδρῶν Σικιμων καὶ ἐπολέμησεν ἐν Αβιμελεχ.

40καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτὸν Αβιμελεχ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι πολλοὶ ἕως θυρῶν τῆς πόλεως.

41καὶ ἐκάθισεν Αβιμελεχ ἐν Αριμα· καὶ ἐξέβαλεν Ζεβουλ τὸν Γααλ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ οἰκεῖν ἐν Σικιμοις.

42καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἐπαύριον καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Αβιμελεχ.

43καὶ παρέλαβεν τὸν λαὸν καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτὸν τρεῖς ἀρχὰς καὶ ἐνήδρευσεν ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐπανέστη αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτούς.

44καὶ Αβιμελεχ καὶ αἱ ἀρχαὶ αἱ μετ αὐτοῦ ἐξετάθησαν καὶ ἔστησαν παρὰ τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως, καὶ αἱ δύο ἀρχαὶ ἐξεχύθησαν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτούς.

45καὶ Αβιμελεχ ἐπολέμει ἐν τῇ πόλει ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην, καὶ κατελάβοντο τὴν πόλιν, καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀνεῖλεν καὶ τὴν πόλιν καθεῖλεν καὶ ἔσπειρεν αὐτὴν ἅλας.
