Judges 9:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Then Ebed’s son Gaal remarked, “Who is this Abimelech? And who is Shechem? Should we serve him? Isn’t he Jerubbaal’s son? Isn’t Zebul his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor, Shechem’s ancestor—but why are we serving him? ²⁹ If only authority over this people were given to me. Then I would remove Abimelech!” Then he challenged Abimelech: “Build up your army and then come out and fight!”

³⁰ When Zebul, the ruler of the city, heard what Ebed’s son Gaal had said, he flew into a rage.
