And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
At umahon si Abimelech sa bundok ng Salmon, siya at ang buong bayan na kasama niya; at sumunggab si Abimelech ng isang palakol sa kaniyang kamay, at pumutol ng isang sanga sa mga kahoy at itinaas, at ipinasan sa kaniyang balikat: at sinabi niya sa bayan na kasama niya, Kung ano ang makita ninyo na gawin ko, magmadali kayo, at gawin ninyo ang aking ginawa.
