Judges 9:28-30

New Century Version

²⁸ Gaal son of Ebed said, “We are the men of Shechem. Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Isn’t he one of Gideon’s sons, and isn’t Zebul his officer? We should serve the men of Hamor, Shechem’s father. Why should we serve 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 when Zebul, the ruler of Shechem, heard what Gaal son of Ebed said, he was very angry.
