41And Abimelech abideth in Arumah, and Zebul casteth out Gaal and his brethren from dwelling in Shechem.
42And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the people go out to the field, and they declare [it] to Abimelech,
43and he taketh the people, and divideth them into three detachments, and layeth wait in a field, and looketh, and lo, the people are coming out from the city, and he riseth against them, and smiteth them.
44And Abimelech and the detachments who [are] with him have pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city, and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the field, and smite them,
45and Abimelech hath fought against the city all that day, and captureth the city, and the people who [are] in it he hath slain, and he breaketh down the city, and soweth it [with] salt.
46And all the masters of the tower of Shechem hear, and go in unto the high place of the house of the god Berith,
47and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together,
