Gaal the son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him?
Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal?
Isn’t Zebul his officer?
Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem, but why should we serve him?
I wish that this people were under my hand!
Then I would remove Abimelech.”
He said to Abimelech, “Increase your army and come out!”
When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.
