31. and he sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem, and behold, they shut up the city against thee;
32. and now, rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in ambush in the fields.
33. And it shall be in the morning when the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and fall upon the city; and behold, he and the people that is with him shall come out against thee, and thou shalt do with him as thou shalt find occasion.
34. And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they lay in ambush against Shechem in four companies.
