SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:35
Y Gaal hijo de Ebed salió, y se puso a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad; y Abimelec y todo el pueblo que con él estaba , se levantaron de la emboscada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 9:35
Verse 35. Stood in the entering of the gate] Having probably got some intimation of the designs of Zebul and Abimelech.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. And Gaul the son or Ebed went out , etc.] He rose up early that morning, being a man of vigilance and activity, and perhaps had some intelligence of the preparations of Abimelech, his design against the city, though he did not expect he was so near at hand: and stood in the entering of the gate of the city ; to see whether the guards were on their duty within, and whether he could observe any thing without, any approaching danger: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait ; came out of their ambush, and appeared just as Gaul was at the gate.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-49 - Abimelech intended to punish the Schechemites for slighting him now but God punished them for their serving him formerly in the murder of Gideon's sons. When God uses men as instruments in his hand to do his work, he means one thing, and they another. That, which they hope would have been for their welfare, proved a snare and a trap, as thos will certainly find, who run to idols for shelter; such will prove refuge of lies. (Jdg 9:50-57)
