Judges 9:42

42 Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was told to Abimelech.

Judges 9:42 In-Context

40 Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.
41 Then Abimelech remained at Arumah, but Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives so that they could not remain in Shechem.
42 Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was told to Abimelech.
43 So he took his people and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field; when he looked and saw the people coming out from the city, he arose against them and slew them.
44 Then Abimelech and the company who was with him dashed forward and stood in the entrance of the city gate; the other two companies then dashed against all who were in the field and slew them.
