法蓮子孫。攜弓手刃。臨陣之日。逡巡而遯。

“ Then you answered and said to me,‘ We have sinned against the Lord; we will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And when everyone of you had girded on his weapons of war, you were ready to go up into the mountain.“ And the Lord said to me,‘ Tell them,“ Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you; lest you be defeated before your enemies.”’So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but rebelled against the command of the Lord, and presumptuously went up into the mountain.And the Amorites who dwelt in that mountain came out against you and chased you as bees do, and drove you back from Seir to Hormah.

So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.”

Then Zebul said to him,“ Where indeed is your mouth now, with which you said,‘ Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Are not these the people whom you despised? Go out, if you will, and fight with them now.”So Gaal went out, leading the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.And Abimelech chased him, and he fled from him; and many fell wounded, to the very entrance of the gate.
