Judges 9:26-30
26Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his 1relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him. 27They went out into the field and gathered the grapes of their vineyards and trod them, and held a 2festival; and they went into the house of 3their god, and ate and drank and cursed Abimelech. 28Then Gaal the son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is Zebul not his 4lieutenant? Serve the men of 5Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him? 2967Would, therefore, that this people were under my authority! Then I would remove Abimelech.” And he said to Abimelech, “Increase your army and come out.”
30When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.
