Judges 9:34-40

34So Abimelech and all his men went by night and split into four groups, stationing themselves around Shechem.

35Gaal was standing at the city gates when Abimelech and his army came out of hiding.

36When Gaal saw them, he said to Zebul, “Look, there are people coming down from the hilltops!” Zebul replied, “It’s just the shadows on the hills that look like men.”

37But again Gaal said, “No, people are coming down from the hills. And another group is coming down the road past the Diviners’ Oak.”

38Then Zebul turned on him and asked, “Now where is that big mouth of yours? Wasn’t it you that said, ‘Who is Abimelech, and why should we be his servants?’ The men you mocked are right outside the city! Go out and fight them!”

39So Gaal led the leading citizens of Shechem into battle against Abimelech.

40But Abimelech chased him, and many of Shechem’s men were wounded and fell along the road as they retreated to the city gate.
