And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem At the head of them, to meet Abimelech, having gathered together as many, and put them in as good order, as he could, and the time would admit of:
37
Again Gaal said: Behold, there cometh people down from the midst of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.
38
And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst: Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.
39
So Gaal went out, in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech,
40
Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city:
41
And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions, out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it.
