26And GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 cameH935 with his brethrenH251, and went overH5674 to ShechemH7927: and the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 put their confidenceH982 in him.
27And they went outH3318 into the fieldsH7704, and gatheredH1219 their vineyardsH3754, and trodeH1869 the grapes, and madeH6213 merryH1974, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of their godH430, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and cursedH7043 AbimelechH40.1
28And GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 saidH559, Who is AbimelechH40, and who is ShechemH7927, that we should serveH5647 him? is not he the sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378? and ZebulH2083 his officerH6496? serveH5647 the menH582 of HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927: for why should we serveH5647 him?
29And would to God this peopleH5971 were underH5414 my handH3027! then would I removeH5493 AbimelechH40. And he saidH559 to AbimelechH40, IncreaseH7235 thine armyH6635, and come outH3318.
