37. Gaal spoke again and said, "Behold, people are coming down from the highest part of the land, and one company comes by the way of the diviners' oak."
38. Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your boasting now with which you said, 'Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?' Is this not the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them!"
39. So Gaal went out before the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.
40. Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.
41. Then Abimelech remained at Arumah, but Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives so that they could not remain in Shechem.
42. Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was told to Abimelech.
