Judges 9:43
And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
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.
