Judges 9:34-36

Living Bible

³⁴ So Abimelech and his men marched through the night and split into four groups, stationing themselves around the city. ³⁵ The next morning as Gaal sat at the city gates, discussing various issues with the local leaders, Abimelech and his men began their march upon the city.

³⁶ When Gaal saw them, he exclaimed to Zebul, “Look over at that mountain! Doesn’t it look like people coming down?”

“No!” Zebul said. “You’re just seeing shadows that look like men!”
