And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abim´elech.
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
that the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubba´al might come, and their blood be laid upon Abim´elech their brother, which slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
