Judges 9:43-45

Lexham English Bible

⁴³ so he took the army and divided them into three divisions,^[a] and he laid an ambush in the field. And he saw the people were coming out from the city, and he arose against them and killed them. ⁴⁴ Then Abimelech and the divisions^[b] that were with him dashed out and stood at the entrance of the city gate, and the two divisions dashed out against all who were in the field, and they killed them. ⁴⁵ Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people that were in it; then he broke down the city and sowed it with salt.
