“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.”
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 of a tree, 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 likewise — Abimelech personally cuts a branch and commands his followers to do likewise. The symbolic act mobilizes the masses.
