(While they were waiting for him to come along, they robbed everyone else who passed that way.) But someone warned Abimelech about their plot.
26 At that time Gaal (the son of Ebed) moved to Shechem with his brothers, and he became one of the leading citizens.

Judges 9:24-26
New International Version
24 God did this in order that the crime against Jerub-Baal’s seventy sons,(A) the shedding(B) of their blood, might be avenged(C) on their brother Abimelek and on the citizens of Shechem, who had helped him(D) murder his brothers. 25 In opposition to him these citizens of Shechem set men on the hilltops to ambush and rob everyone who passed by, and this was reported to Abimelek.
26 Now Gaal son of Ebed(E) moved with his clan into Shechem, and its citizens put their confidence in him.
