    43 So Abimelech took his army, divided them into three companies, and set an ambush in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he attacked them.

    44 Abimelech and his company rushed forward and took their position at the entrance of the city gate, while the other two companies struck down those in the fields.

    47 When Abimelech was told that all the people of the tower of Shechem had gathered there,
