Entonces Abimelec y la compañía que estaba con él se lanzaron con ímpetu y se situaron a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad, y las otras dos compañías se lanzaron contra todos los que estaban en el campo y los mataron.
Y Abimelec y el escuadrón que estaba con él, acometieron con ímpetu, y pararon a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad; y los otros dos escuadrones acometieron contra todos los que estaban en el campo y los mataron.
Pues Abimelec y el escuadrón que estaba con él, acometieron con ímpetu, y pararon a la entrada de la puerta de la ciudad; y las otras dos compañías acometieron a todos los que estaban en el campo, y los hirieron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Abimelech, and the company that was with him,.... Which he had the particular command of; or "the heads" m, for in the company with him, as Kimchi observes, were great men; and so the Septuagint renders it, the princes that were with him:
rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city; to prevent the people that were in the field getting into it, and any from coming out of it to their relief:
and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them; so that by this means none escaped.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This verse explains the purpose of both the present and the former division of Abimelech’s forces into several companies, namely, that while some of the companies attacked the men of Shechem in the field, another company, starting from their ambush, might occupy the approach to the city gate, and so cut off their retreat.
