Judges 9:39
"And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem,.... At the head of them, to meet Abimelech, having gathered together as many, and put them in as good order, as

he could, and the time would admit of: and fought with Abimelech; without the city.
