“And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.”
And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them — Shechem's treachery manifests in violence. They set ambushes (קוּמִים בְרֹאשׁ הֶהָרִים, kumim b'rosh he-harim, lying in wait on mountain tops) and rob travelers. The mountains become strongholds against the tyrant.
