is not he the son{H1121} of Jerubbaal{H3378}? and Zebul{H2083} his officer{H6496}? serve{H5647}{(H8798)} the men{H582} of Hamor{H2544} the father{H1} of Shechem{H7927}: for why should we serve{H5647}{(H8799)} him? 29 And would to God this people{H5971} were under{H5414}{(H8799)} my hand{H3027}! then would I remove{H5493}{(H8686)} Abimelech{H40}. And he said{H559}{(H8799)} to Abimelech{H40}, Increase{H7235}{(H8761)} thine army{H6635}, and come out{H3318}{(H8798)}. 30 And when Zebul{H2083} the ruler{H8269} of the city{H5892} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} the words{H1697} of Gaal{H1603} the son{H1121} of Ebed{H5651}, his anger{H639} was kindled{H2734}{(H8799)}. 31 And he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} messengers{H4397} unto Abimelech{H40} privily{H8649}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold, Gaal{H1603} the son{H1121} of Ebed{H5651} and his brethren{H251} be come{H935}{(H8802)} to Shechem{H7927}; and, behold, they fortify{H6696}{(H8802)} the city{H5892} against thee. 32 Now therefore up{H6965}{(H8798)} by night{H3915}, thou and the people{H5971} that is with thee, and lie in wait{H693}{(H8798)} in the field{H7704}: 33 And it shall be, that in the morning{H1242}, as soon as the sun{H8121} is up{H2224}{(H8800)}, thou shalt rise early{H7925}{(H8686)}, and set{H6584}{(H8804)} upon the city{H5892}: and, behold, when he and the people{H5971} that is with him come out{H3318}{(H8802)} against thee, then mayest thou do{H6213}{(H8804)} to them as thou{H3027} shalt find occasion{H4672}{(H8799)}. 34 And Abimelech{H40} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)}, and all the people{H5971} that were with him, by night{H3915}, and they laid wait{H693}{(H8799)} against Shechem{H7927} in four{H702} companies{H7218}. 35 And Gaal{H1603} the son{H1121} of Ebed{H5651} went out{H3318}{(H8799)}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in the entering{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of the city{H5892}: and Abimelech{H40} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)}, and the people{H5971} that were with him, from lying in wait{H3993}. 36 And when Gaal{H1603} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the people{H5971}, he said{H559}{(H8799)} to Zebul{H2083}, Behold, there come{H3381} people{H5971} down{H3381}{(H8802)} from the top{H7218} of the mountains{H2022}. And Zebul{H2083} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Thou seest{H7200}{(H8802)} the shadow{H6738} of the mountains{H2022} as if they were men{H582}. 37 And Gaal{H1603} spake{H1696}{(H8763)} again{H3254}{(H8686)} and said{H559}{(H8799)}, See there come{H3381} people{H5971} down{H3381}{(H8802)} by the middle{H2872} of the land{H776}, and another{H259} company{H7218} come{H935}{(H8804)} along by the plain{H436} of{H1870} Meonenim{H6049}{(H8781)}. 38 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} Zebul{H2083} unto him, Where is now{H645} thy mouth{H6310}, wherewith thou saidst{H559}{(H8799)}, Who is Abimelech{H40}, that we should serve{H5647}{(H8799)} him? is not this the people{H5971} that thou hast despised{H3988}{(H8804)}? go out{H3318}{(H8798)}, I pray now{H4994}, and fight{H3898}{(H8734)} with them. 39 And Gaal{H1603} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the men{H1167} of Shechem{H7927}, and fought{H3898}{(H8735)} with Abimelech{H40}. 40 And Abimelech{H40} chased{H7291}{(H8799)} him, and he fled{H5127}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him, and many{H7227} were overthrown{H5307}{(H8799)} and wounded{H2491}, even unto the entering{H6607} of the gate{H8179}. 41 And Abimelech{H40} dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} at Arumah{H725}: and Zebul{H2083} thrust out{H1644}{(H8762)} Gaal{H1603} and his brethren{H251}, that they should not dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} in Shechem{H7927}. 42 And it came to pass on the morrow{H4283}, that the people{H5971} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} into the field{H7704}; and they told{H5046}{(H8686)} Abimelech{H40}. 43 And he took{H3947}{(H8799)} the people{H5971}, and divided{H2673}{(H8799)} them into three{H7969} companies{H7218}, and laid wait{H693}{(H8799)} in the field{H7704}, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)}, and, behold, the people{H5971} were come forth{H3318}{(H8802)} out of the city{H5892}; and he rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} against them, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them. 44 And Abimelech{H40}, and the company{H7218} that was with him, rushed forward{H6584}{(H8804)}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in the entering{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of the city{H5892}: and the two{H8147} other companies{H7218} ran upon{H6584}{(H8804)} all the people that were in the fields{H7704}, and slew{H5221}{(H8686)} them. 45 And Abimelech{H40} fought{H3898}{(H8738)} against the city{H5892} all that day{H3117}; and he took{H3920}{(H8799)} the city{H5892}, and slew{H2026}{(H8804)} the people{H5971} that was therein, and beat down{H5422}{(H8799)} the city{H5892}, and sowed{H2232}{(H8799)} it with salt{H4417}. 46 And when all the men{H1167} of the tower{H4026} of Shechem{H7927} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} that, they entered{H935}{(H8799)} into an hold{H6877} of the house{H1004} of the god{H410} Berith{H1286}. 47 And it was told{H5046}{(H8714)} Abimelech{H40}, that all the men{H1167} of the tower{H4026} of Shechem{H7927} were gathered together{H6908}{(H8694)}. 48 And Abimelech{H40} gat him up{H5927}{(H8799)} to mount{H2022} Zalmon{H6756}, he and all the people{H5971} that were with him; and Abimelech{H40} took{H3947}{(H8799)} an axe{H7134} in his hand{H3027}, and cut down{H3772}{(H8799)} a bough{H7754} from the trees{H6086}, and took{H5375}{(H8799)} it, and laid{H7760}{(H8799)} it on his shoulder{H7926}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the people{H5971} that were with him, What ye have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} me do{H6213}{(H8804)}, make haste{H4116}{(H8761)}, and do{H6213}{(H8798)} as I{H3644} have done. 49 And all the people{H5971} likewise cut down{H3772}{(H8799)} every man{H376} his bough{H7754}, and followed{H3212}{(H8799)}{H310} Abimelech{H40}, and put{H7760}{(H8799)} them to the hold{H6877}, and set{H3341}{(H8686)} the hold{H6877} on fire{H784} upon them; so that all the men{H582} of the tower{H4026} of Shechem{H7927} died{H4191}{(H8799)} also, about a thousand{H505} men{H376} and women{H802}. 50 Then went{H3212}{(H8799)} Abimelech{H40} to Thebez{H8405}, and encamped{H2583}{(H8799)} against Thebez{H8405}, and took{H3920}{(H8799)} it. 51 But there was a strong{H5797} tower{H4026} within{H8432} the city{H5892}, and thither fled{H5127}{(H8799)} all the men{H582} and women{H802}, and all they{H1167} of the city{H5892}, and shut{H5462}{(H8799)} it to them, and gat them up{H5927}{(H8799)} to the top{H1406} of the tower{H4026}. 52 And Abimelech{H40} came{H935}{(H8799)} unto the tower{H4026}, and fought{H3898}{(H8735)} against it, and went hard{H5066}{(H8799)} unto the door{H6607} of the tower{H4026} to burn{H8313}{(H8800)} it with fire{H784}. 53 And a certain{H259} woman{H802} cast{H7993}{(H8686)} a piece{H6400} of a millstone{H7393} upon Abimelech's{H40} head{H7218}, and all to brake{H7533}{(H8686)} his skull{H1538}. 54 Then he called{H7121}{(H8799)} hastily{H4120} unto the young man{H5288} his armourbearer{H5375}{(H8802)}{H3627}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Draw{H8025}{(H8798)} thy sword{H2719}, and slay{H4191}{(H8786)} me, that men say{H559}{(H8799)} not of me, A woman{H802} slew{H2026}{(H8804)} him. And his young man{H5288} thrust him through{H1856}{(H8799)}, and he died{H4191}{(H8799)}. 55 And when the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that Abimelech{H40} was dead{H4191}{(H8804)}, they departed{H3212}{(H8799)} every man{H376} unto his place{H4725}. 56 Thus God{H430} rendered{H7725}{(H8686)} the wickedness{H7451} of Abimelech{H40}, which he did{H6213}{(H8804)} unto his father{H1}, in slaying{H2026}{(H8800)} his seventy{H7657} brethren{H251}: 57 And all the evil{H7451} of the men{H582} of Shechem{H7927} did God{H430} render{H7725}{(H8689)} upon their heads{H7218}: and upon them came{H935}{(H8799)} the curse{H7045} of Jotham{H3147} the son{H1121} of Jerubbaal{H3378}.
