Judges 9:31-33

English Standard Version

³¹ And he sent messengers to Abimelech secretly,^[a] saying, “Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem, and they are stirring up^[b] the city against you. ³² Now therefore, go by night, you and the people who are with you, and set an ambush in the field. ³³ Then in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, rise early and rush upon the city. And when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you may do to them ^(A)as your hand finds to do.”
