Judges 9:39 In-Context

37 Gaal spoke again, "No, there are troops coming down from Tabbur Haares. One company is coming along the road by the Fortunetellers' Tree."
38 Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your big mouth now? You were the one who said, 'Who's Abimelech that we should serve him?' Aren't these the troops [whose ruler] you despised? Now go out and fight him."
39 Then Gaal led citizens of Shechem out to fight Abimelech.
40 Abimelech chased Gaal so that he ran away from him. Many were killed at the entrance of the city.
41 Abimelech continued to live at Arumah. Zebul threw Gaal and his brothers out and would not let them live in Shechem.
