Judges 9:31-33

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³¹ He sent messengers to Abimelech at Arumah,^[a] saying, “Look, Gaal son of Ebed and his kinsfolk have come to Shechem, and they are stirring up^[b] the city against you. ³² Now therefore, go by night, you and the troops who are with you, and lie in wait in the fields. ³³ Then early in the morning, as soon as the sun rises, get up and rush on the city, and when he and the troops who are with him come out against you, you may deal with them as best you can.”^(A)
