Judges 9:38-40

Living Bible

³⁸ Then Zebul turned on him triumphantly. “Now where is that big mouth of yours?” he demanded. “Who was it who said, ‘Who is Abimelech, and why should he be our king?’ The men you taunted and cursed are right outside the city! Go on out and fight!”

³⁹ So Gaal led the men of Shechem into the battle and fought with Abimelech, ⁴⁰ but was defeated, and many of the men of Shechem were left wounded all the way to the city gate.
