Judges 9:28-45

And Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,

and who [is] Shechem
<07927>_,

that we should serve
<05647> (8799)

him? [is] not [he] the son
<01121>

of Jerubbaal
<03378>_?

and Zebul
<02083>

his officer
<06496>_?

serve
<05647> (8798)

the men
<0582>

of Hamor
<02544>

the father
<01>

of Shechem
<07927>_:

for why should we serve
<05647> (8799)

him?

And would to God this people
<05971>

were under
<05414> (8799)

my hand
<03027>_!

then would I remove
<05493> (8686)

Abimelech
<040>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to Abimelech
<040>_,

Increase
<07235> (8761)

thine army
<06635>_,

and come out
<03318> (8798)_.

And when Zebul
<02083>

the ruler
<08269>

of the city
<05892>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>_,

his anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.

{kindled: or, hot}

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Abimelech
<040>

privily
<08649>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

and his brethren
<0251>

be come
<0935> (8802)

to Shechem
<07927>_;

and, behold, they fortify
<06696> (8802)

the city
<05892>

against thee. {privily: Heb. craftily or, to Tormah}

Now therefore up
<06965> (8798)

by night
<03915>_,

thou and the people
<05971>

that [is] with thee, and lie in wait
<0693> (8798)

in the field
<07704>_:

And it shall be, [that] in the morning
<01242>_,

as soon as the sun
<08121>

is up
<02224> (8800)_,

thou shalt rise early
<07925> (8686)_,

and set
<06584> (8804)

upon the city
<05892>_:

and, behold, [when] he and the people
<05971>

that [is] with him come out
<03318> (8802)

against thee, then mayest thou do
<06213> (8804)

to them as thou
<03027>

shalt find occasion
<04672> (8799)_.

{as thou shalt...: Heb. as thine hand shall find}

And Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, by night
<03915>_,

and they laid wait
<0693> (8799)

against Shechem
<07927>

in four
<0702>

companies
<07218>_.

And Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_:

and Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, from lying in wait
<03993>_.

And when Gaal
<01603>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)

to Zebul
<02083>_,

Behold, there come
<03381> (0)

people
<05971>

down
<03381> (8802)

from the top
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_.

And Zebul
<02083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou seest
<07200> (8802)

the shadow
<06738>

of the mountains
<02022>

as [if they were] men
<0582>_.

And Gaal
<01603>

spake
<01696> (8763)

again
<03254> (8686)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

See there come
<03381> (0)

people
<05971>

down
<03381> (8802)

by the middle
<02872>

of the land
<0776>_,

and another
<0259>

company
<07218>

come
<0935> (8804)

along by the plain
<0436>

of
<01870>

Meonenim
<06049> (8781)_.

{middle: Heb. navel} {Meonenim: or, the regarders of times}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Zebul
<02083>

unto him, Where [is] now
<0645>

thy mouth
<06310>_,

wherewith thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,

that we should serve
<05647> (8799)

him? [is] not this the people
<05971>

that thou hast despised
<03988> (8804)_?

go out
<03318> (8798)_,

I pray now
<04994>_,

and fight
<03898> (8734)

with them.

And Gaal
<01603>

went out
<03318> (8799)

before
<06440>

the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with Abimelech
<040>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

chased
<07291> (8799)

him, and he fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, and many
<07227>

were overthrown
<05307> (8799)

[and] wounded
<02491>_,

[even] unto the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Arumah
<0725>_:

and Zebul
<02083>

thrust out
<01644> (8762)

Gaal
<01603>

and his brethren
<0251>_,

that they should not dwell
<03427> (8800)

in Shechem
<07927>_.

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the people
<05971>

went out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_;

and they told
<05046> (8686)

Abimelech
<040>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

and divided
<02673> (8799)

them into three
<07969>

companies
<07218>_,

and laid wait
<0693> (8799)

in the field
<07704>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the people
<05971>

[were] come forth
<03318> (8802)

out of the city
<05892>_;

and he rose up
<06965> (8799)

against them, and smote
<05221> (8686)

them.

And Abimelech
<040>_,

and the company
<07218>

that [was] with him, rushed forward
<06584> (8804)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_:

and the two
<08147>

[other] companies
<07218>

ran upon
<06584> (8804)

all [the people] that [were] in the fields
<07704>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

them.

And Abimelech
<040>

fought
<03898> (8738)

against the city
<05892>

all that day
<03117>_;

and he took
<03920> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

and slew
<02026> (8804)

the people
<05971>

that [was] therein, and beat down
<05422> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

and sowed
<02232> (8799)

it with salt
<04417>_.
