Judges 9:43

And he took the people ,.... That is, the forces he had with him at Arumah:

and divided them into three companies : each having a separate leader, and the command of one of them he had himself:

and laid wait in the field ; in the field of Shechem, one company in one part, and one in another part of the field:

and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city ; he watched them when they did:

and he rose up against them, and smote them ; the companies rose up out of their ambush, in different parts, and killed them.
