"Again, Gaal said, “Behold, a people is descending from the middle of the land, and one company is arriving by the way that looks towards the oak.” "
— Judges 9:37, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.”
“And Gaal spake again and said, See, there come people down by the middle of the land, and one company cometh by the way of the oak of Meonenim. ”
“Gaal spoke again and said, "Behold, people are coming down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim."”
“Gaal again said,“Look, men are coming down from the very center of the land. A unit is coming by way of the Oak Tree of the Diviners.””
“Again Gaal said: Behold, there cometh people down from the midst of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.”
“And Gaal said again, See! people are coming down from the middle of the land, and one band is coming by way of the oak-tree of the Seers.”
“And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.”
And so Abimelech rose up, with all his army, by night, and he set ambushes near Shechem in four places.
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and he stood at the entrance to the gate of the city. Then Abimelech rose up, and all the army with him, from the places of the ambushes.
And when Gaal had seen the people, he said to Zebul, “Behold, a multitude is descending from the mountains.” And he responded to him, “You are seeing the shadows of the mountains, as if they were the heads of men, and so you are being deceived by this error.”
Again, Gaal said, “Behold, a people is descending from the middle of the land, and one company is arriving by the way that looks towards the oak.”
And Zebul said to him: “Where is your mouth now, with which you said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people that you were despising? Go out and fight against him.”
Therefore, Gaal went out, with the people of Shechem watching, and he fought against Abimelech,
who pursued him, fleeing, and drove him into the city. And many were cut down on his side, even to the gate of the city.
