And he took the people, etc.] 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.
