42 The next day the Shechemites[a] came out to the field. When Abimelech heard about it,[b] 43 he took his men[c] and divided them into three units and set an ambush in the field. When he saw the people coming out of the city,[d] he attacked and struck them down.[e] 44 Abimelech and his units[f] attacked and blocked[g] the entrance to the city’s gate.
