Judges 9:26-30
26Gaal son of Ebed came with his brothers and crossed into Shechem, and the citizens of Shechem trusted him.
27So they went out to the countryside and harvested grapes from their vineyards. They trampled the grapes and held a celebration. Then they went to the house of their god, and as they ate and drank, they cursed Abimelech.
28Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem that we should serve him? Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal, and isn’t Zebul his officer? You are to serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem. Why should we serve Abimelech?
29If only these people were in my power, I would remove Abimelech.” So he said to Abimelech, “Gather your army and come out.”
30When Zebul, the ruler of the city, heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he was angry.
