Judges 9:44
And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.
And Abimelech, and the company that was with him,.... Which he had the particular command of; or "the heads" {m}, for in the company with him, as Kimchi observes, were great men; and so the Septuagint renders it, the princes that were with him:
rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city; to prevent the people that were in the field getting into it, and any from coming out of it to their relief:
and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them; so that by this means none escaped.
