And the leaders of Shechem set for him ambushers at the tops of the mountains; and they robbed all who passed by them on the way. And it was told to Abimelech.
And he commanded them, saying, See, you will be an ambush against the city, behind the city. You shall not go very far off from the city, and all of you shall be ready.
that the violence against Jerubbaal’s seventy sons, even their blood, might be put on their brother Abimelech who killed them, and on the leaders of Shechem who made his hands strong to kill his brothers.
