Judges 9:36-57

And when Gaal
<01603>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the people
<05971>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)
to Zebul
<02083>_,
Behold, there come
<03381> (0)
people
<05971>
down
<03381> (8802)
from the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_.
And Zebul
<02083>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou seest
<07200> (8802)
the shadow
<06738>
of the mountains
<02022>
as [if they were] men
<0582>_.
And Gaal
<01603>
spake
<01696> (8763)
again
<03254> (8686)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
See there come
<03381> (0)
people
<05971>
down
<03381> (8802)
by the middle
<02872>
of the land
<0776>_,
and another
<0259>
company
<07218>
come
<0935> (8804)
along by the plain
<0436>
of
<01870>
Meonenim
<06049> (8781)_.
{middle: Heb. navel} {Meonenim: or, the regarders of times}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Zebul
<02083>
unto him, Where [is] now
<0645>
thy mouth
<06310>_,
wherewith thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,
that we should serve
<05647> (8799)
him? [is] not this the people
<05971>
that thou hast despised
<03988> (8804)_?
go out
<03318> (8798)_,
I pray now
<04994>_,
and fight
<03898> (8734)
with them.
And Gaal
<01603>
went out
<03318> (8799)
before
<06440>
the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
with Abimelech
<040>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
chased
<07291> (8799)
him, and he fled
<05127> (8799)
before
<06440>
him, and many
<07227>
were overthrown
<05307> (8799)
[and] wounded
<02491>_,
[even] unto the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
at Arumah
<0725>_:
and Zebul
<02083>
thrust out
<01644> (8762)
Gaal
<01603>
and his brethren
<0251>_,
that they should not dwell
<03427> (8800)
in Shechem
<07927>_.
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
that the people
<05971>
went out
<03318> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_;
and they told
<05046> (8686)
Abimelech
<040>_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the people
<05971>_,
and divided
<02673> (8799)
them into three
<07969>
companies
<07218>_,
and laid wait
<0693> (8799)
in the field
<07704>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the people
<05971>
[were] come forth
<03318> (8802)
out of the city
<05892>_;
and he rose up
<06965> (8799)
against them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
them.
And Abimelech
<040>_,
and the company
<07218>
that [was] with him, rushed forward
<06584> (8804)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_:
and the two
<08147>
[other] companies
<07218>
ran upon
<06584> (8804)
all [the people] that [were] in the fields
<07704>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
them.
And Abimelech
<040>
fought
<03898> (8738)
against the city
<05892>
all that day
<03117>_;
and he took
<03920> (8799)
the city
<05892>_,
and slew
<02026> (8804)
the people
<05971>
that [was] therein, and beat down
<05422> (8799)
the city
<05892>_,
and sowed
<02232> (8799)
it with salt
<04417>_.
And when all the men
<01167>
of the tower
<04026>
of Shechem
<07927>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[that], they entered
<0935> (8799)
into an hold
<06877>
of the house
<01004>
of the god
<0410>
Berith
<01286>_.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Abimelech
<040>_,
that all the men
<01167>
of the tower
<04026>
of Shechem
<07927>
were gathered together
<06908> (8694)_.
And Abimelech
<040>
gat him up
<05927> (8799)
to mount
<02022>
Zalmon
<06756>_,
he and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him; and Abimelech
<040>
took
<03947> (8799)
an axe
<07134>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and cut down
<03772> (8799)
a bough
<07754>
from the trees
<06086>_,
and took
<05375> (8799)
it, and laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] on his shoulder
<07926>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, What ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
me do
<06213> (8804)_,
make haste
<04116> (8761)_,
[and] do
<06213> (8798)
as I
<03644>
[have done]. {me do: Heb. I have done}
And all the people
<05971>
likewise cut down
<03772> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his bough
<07754>_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
Abimelech
<040>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
[them] to the hold
<06877>_,
and set
<03341> (8686)
the hold
<06877>
on fire
<0784>
upon them; so that all the men
<0582>
of the tower
<04026>
of Shechem
<07927>
died
<04191> (8799)
also, about a thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
and women
<0802>_.
Then went
<03212> (8799)
Abimelech
<040>
to Thebez
<08405>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against Thebez
<08405>_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
it.
But there was a strong
<05797>
tower
<04026>
within
<08432>
the city
<05892>_,
and thither fled
<05127> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
and women
<0802>_,
and all they
<01167>
of the city
<05892>_,
and shut
<05462> (8799)
[it] to them, and gat them up
<05927> (8799)
to the top
<01406>
of the tower
<04026>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto the tower
<04026>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against it, and went hard
<05066> (8799)
unto the door
<06607>
of the tower
<04026>
to burn
<08313> (8800)
it with fire
<0784>_.
And a certain
<0259>
woman
<0802>
cast
<07993> (8686)
a piece
<06400>
of a millstone
<07393>
upon Abimelech's
<040>
head
<07218>_,
and all to brake
<07533> (8686)
his skull
<01538>_.
Then he called
<07121> (8799)
hastily
<04120>
unto the young man
<05288>
his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Draw
<08025> (8798)
thy sword
<02719>_,
and slay
<04191> (8786)
me, that men say
<0559> (8799)
not of me, A woman
<0802>
slew
<02026> (8804)
him. And his young man
<05288>
thrust him through
<01856> (8799)_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
And when the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Abimelech
<040>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
they departed
<03212> (8799)
every man
<0376>
unto his place
<04725>_.
Thus God
<0430>
rendered
<07725> (8686)
the wickedness
<07451>
of Abimelech
<040>_,
which he did
<06213> (8804)
unto his father
<01>_,
in slaying
<02026> (8800)
his seventy
<07657>
brethren
<0251>_:
And all the evil
<07451>
of the men
<0582>
of Shechem
<07927>
did God
<0430>
render
<07725> (8689)
upon their heads
<07218>_:
and upon them came
<0935> (8799)
the curse
<07045>
of Jotham
<03147>
the son
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>_.
