³⁶ And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains.” And Zebul said unto him, “Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.”

³⁷ And Gaal spoke again and said, “See, there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.”

³⁸ Then said Zebul unto him, “Where now is thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, ‘Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Are not these the people whom thou hast despised? Go out, I pray now, and fight with them.”
