English Standard Version
36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from (A)the mountaintops!” And Zebul said to him, “You mistake[a] the shadow of the mountains for men.” 37 Gaal spoke again and said, “Look, people are coming down from the center of the land, and one company is coming from the direction of the Diviners' Oak.” 38 Then Zebul said to him, “Where is your mouth now, you who said, (B)‘Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Are not these the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them.”
