Judges 9:34-40
34So AbimelechH40 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him gotH6965 upH6965 at nightH3915, and layH693 inH693 waitH693 againstH5921 ShechemH7927, in fourH702 1unitsH7218.
35Now GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 wentH3318 outH3318 and stoodH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892 gateH8179; and AbimelechH40 and the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him aroseH6965 from the ambushH3993.
36When GaalH1603 sawH7200 the peopleH5971, he saidH559 to ZebulH2083, “2LookH2009, peopleH5971 are comingH3381 downH3381 from the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022.” But ZebulH2083 saidH559 to him, “You are seeingH7200 the shadowH6738 of the mountainsH2022 as if they were peopleH376.”
37And GaalH1603 spokeH1696 yetH5750 againH3254 and saidH559, “LookH2009, peopleH5971 are comingH3381 downH3381 from 3the 4highestH2872 partH2872 of the landH776, and oneH259 5unitH7218 is comingH935 by wayH1870 of 6the diviners’H6049 7oakH436.”
38Then ZebulH2083 saidH559 to him, “WhereH346 thenH645 is your 8boastingH6310 with whichH834 you saidH559, ‘WhoH4310 is AbimelechH40 that we should serveH5647 him?’ Is thisH2088 not the peopleH5971 whomH834 you rejectedH3988? GoH3318 outH3318 nowH6258 and fightH3898 them!”
39So GaalH1603 wentH3318 outH3318 9in the sightH6440 of the 10leadersH1167 of ShechemH7927 and foughtH3898 AbimelechH40.
40But AbimelechH40 chasedH7291 him, and he fledH5127 from him; and manyH7227 fellH5307 woundedH2491 up to the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179.
