he fled before: 1 Kings 20:18-21, 1 Kings 20:30

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him,.... Abimelech got the better of him in the battle, and obliged him to give way, and he pursued him closely as he was fleeing:

and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate; or, "they fell many wounded" k, or slain, as the Targum; that is, many were killed and wounded, as in the battle, so in the pursuit, and lay all the way to the entrance into the gate of the city, to which Gaal, and the men of Shechem, made for their safety, and got in.

k נפלו חללים "et ceciderant vulnerati multi", Pagninus, Montanus.
