Judges 9:28-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁸ Ga’al son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelek? Why should the city of Shechem serve him? Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal? Isn’t Zebul his representative? Serve the descendants of Hamor, the founding father of Shechem, but why should we serve Abimelek? ²⁹ If only someone would give this people into my hand! I would remove Abimelek!”

So he said to Abimelek, “Get a bigger army and come out!”

³⁰ When Zebul, ruler of the city, heard the words of Ga’al son of Ebed, he was hot with anger.
