Judges 9:34-40

34So Abimelech and all his men came up at night and set an ambush outside Shechem – they divided into four units.

35When Gaal son of Ebed came out and stood at the entrance to the city’s gate, Abimelech and his men got up from their hiding places.

36Gaal saw the men and said to Zebul, “Look, men are coming down from the tops of the hills.” But Zebul said to him, “You are seeing the shadows on the hills – it just looks like men.”

37Gaal again said, “Look, men are coming down from the very center of the land. A unit is coming by way of the Oak Tree of the Diviners.”

38Zebul said to him, “Where now are your bragging words, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Are these not the men you insulted? Go out now and fight them!”

39So Gaal led the leaders of Shechem out and fought Abimelech.

40Abimelech chased him, and Gaal ran from him. Many Shechemites fell wounded at the entrance of the gate.
