28 Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who are we of Shechem, that we should serve him? Did not the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his officer serve the men of Hamor father of Shechem? Why then should we serve him? 29 If only this people were under my command! Then I would remove Abimelech; I would say[a] to him, ‘Increase your army, and come out.’”
30 When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
