Judges 9:38-40

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁸ Then Zebul said to Gaal, ‘What has happened to your proud words now? You boasted when you said, “Abimelech is nobody! We should not serve him.” Here are the men that you insulted as useless! So now go out and fight them!’

³⁹ Gaal led the men of Shechem out of the city to fight against Abimelech. ⁴⁰ Abimelech chased after him. Gaal and his men ran back to the city. But Abimelech and his men caught and killed many of them before they reached the city gate.
