Judges 9:38-40
New English Translation

38 Zebul said to him, “Where now are your bragging words,[a] ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Are these not the men[b] you insulted?[c] Go out now and fight them!” 39 So Gaal led the leaders of Shechem out[d] and fought Abimelech. 40 Abimelech chased him, and Gaal[e] ran from him. Many Shechemites[f] fell wounded at the entrance of the gate.
