Commentaries and Concordances

WES:

9:40 He fled - Being surprised by the unexpected coming of Abimelech, and probably not fully prepared for the encounter.

MHC:

9:30-49 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 hoped would have been for their welfare, proved a snare and a trap, as those will certainly find, who run to idols for shelter; such will prove a refuge of lies.
