Judges 9:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸ So Zebul replied, “Right... So where’s your boasting now? You said, ‘Who is Abimelech? Should we serve him?’ Isn’t this the army that you insulted? So go out right now and fight them!”

³⁹ So Gaal went out in full view of the “lords” of Shechem and fought Abimelech. ⁴⁰ Abimelech chased him, and Gaal ran away from him. Many fell wounded right up to the entrance to the city gate.
