Judges 9:28-30

International Children’s Bible

²⁸ Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “We are the men of Shechem. Why should we obey Abimelech? Who does he think he is? Isn’t Abimelech one of Gideon’s sons? Didn’t Abimelech make Zebul his officer? We should not obey Abimelech! We should obey the men of Hamor, Shechem’s father. Why should we obey Abimelech? ²⁹ If you made me commander of these people, I would get rid of Abimelech! I would say to him, ‘Get your army ready and come out to battle!’”

³⁰ Now Zebul was the ruler of Shechem. He heard what Gaal son of Ebed said. And Zebul became very angry.
