Judges 9:42-45

42Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was told to Abimelech. 43So he took 1his people and divided them into three 2companies, and lay in wait in the field; when he looked and 3saw the people coming out from the city, he arose against them and 4slew them. 44Then Abimelech and the 5company who was with him dashed forward and stood in the entrance of the city gate; the other two 6companies then dashed against all who were in the field and 7slew them. 45Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people who were in it; then he 8razed the city and sowed it with salt.
