Judges 9:43-45

New Century Version

⁴³ he separated his men into three groups and hid them in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he jumped up and attacked them. ⁴⁴ Abimelech and his group ran to the entrance gate to the city. The other two groups ran out to the people in the fields and struck them down. ⁴⁵ Abimelech and his men fought the city of Shechem all day until they captured it and killed its people. Then he tore it down and threw salt^[a] over the ruins.
