but now the Lord stirred up ill-will between Abimelech and the men of Sichem, who came to hold him in abhorrence; (Judges 9, 23)
So they laid an ambush to catch him at the head of the mountain-pass, and spent their time, while they awaited his coming, in open robbery, plundering all that went by; but Abimelech had warning of it. (Judges 9, 25)
out they went into the country-side, to strip the vineyards and tread the grapes. Amid the chanting of choirs, they went into the temple of their god to feast and drink deep, and curse the name of Abimelech. (Judges 9, 27)
Ah, if I had but command of a people like this, I would soon clear Abimelech out of my path.Hereupon, Abimelech was bidden muster a great force, and come with all speed. (Judges 9, 29)
March out under cover of night with all the following thou hast, and lie hidden in the country round about; (Judges 9, 32)
then, when tomorrow’s sun rises, fall upon the city, and when he and his men come out to meet thee, engage them as best thou canst. (Judges 9, 33)
So Abimelech set out on a night march with all his forces, and posted men in ambush about Sichem in four several places. (Judges 9, 34)
Gaal, son of Obed, had gone out to take up his stand before the entrance of the city, when suddenly Abimelech and his men rose from their ambush. (Judges 9, 35)
But Gaal repeated, There is a throng of men coming down from the uplands, and another body is moving down the road that leads to the oak-tree. (Judges 9, 37)
And at that Zebul said, Now we shall see what becomes of that boasting of thine, Shall we obey such a man as Abimelech? See, here are the men thou didst hold in such contempt; go out and fight with them. (Judges 9, 38)
whereupon Abimelech routed him, and drove him back into the city, and not a few of his clansmen fell before they could reach the city gate. (Judges 9, 40)
So Abimelech encamped at Ruma, while Zebul drove Gaal and his clan out of the city, saying he would harbour them no more. (Judges 9, 41)
