Judges 9:42 In-Context

40 Abimelech started after Gaal, and Gaal ran. Many were wounded, even at the city gate.
41 Abimelech lived in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem, so that they could no longer live there.
42 The next day Abimelech found out that the people of Shechem were planning to go out into the fields,
43 so he took his men, divided them into three groups, and hid in the fields, waiting. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he came out of hiding to kill them.
44 While Abimelech and his group hurried forward to guard the city gate, the other two companies attacked the people in the fields and killed them all.
