Judges 9:36-38

New International Version - UK

³⁶ When Gaal saw them, he said to Zebul, ‘Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!’

Zebul replied, ‘You mistake the shadows of the mountains for men.’

³⁷ But Gaal spoke up again: ‘Look, people are coming down from the central hill,^[a] and a company is coming from the direction of the diviners’ tree.’

³⁸ Then Zebul said to him, ‘Where is your big talk now, you who said, “Who is Abimelek that we should be subject to him?” Aren’t these the men you ridiculed? Go out and fight them!’
