Judges 9:27-29

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁷ And they went out into the fields and gathered their vineyards and trod the grapes and made merry and went into the house of their gods and ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.

²⁸ And 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 not Zebul his deputy? Serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem. For why should we serve him?

²⁹ If these people were under my hand, then I would remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army and come out.
