Judges 9:42-44

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴² The next day, the people of Shechem went out into the fields around the city. Abimelech heard about this. ⁴³ He took his men with him. He made them hide in three groups in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he and his men attacked them. ⁴⁴ Abimelech and his group of soldiers ran to stand at the city gate. They stopped people going back into the city. The other two groups attacked the people in the fields and killed them.
