Judges 9:30-45

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>_.
