Judges 9:28-30

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁸ Gaal said, ‘Why does Abimelech think he is so great? There is no reason why the people of Shechem should serve him! He is a son of Gideon and he does not really belong here. Zebul only serves Abimelech as his officer. Instead we should be faithful to Hamor's descendants. He is the ancestor of Shechem's clan. ²⁹ If I were the leader of these people, I would remove Abimelech as king. I would say to him, “Make your army strong and try to fight against us!” ’

³⁰ Some people told Zebul, the town's officer, what Gaal had said. Zebul was very angry when he heard this.
