See how you translated the similar expression in 9:32. Alternate translation: “So … got going”

וַיֶּאֶרְב֣וּ עַל־שְׁכֶ֔ם

The verb translated as ambushed here is the same one that was translated as “ambushers” in 9:25 and as “hide” in 9:32. Abimelek and his troops followed Zebul’s advice to hide so that they could not be seen and so that they could launch a surprise attack in the morning. Alternate translation: “and they set up an ambush against Shechem”
9:1-57 The reign of Abimelech was the turning point between the comparative rest of the early period of judges (3:7–8:35) and the decline of the later years (10:1–16:31).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
