Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him? 29If only this people were under my authority! Then I would do away with Abimelech.' And he said to Abimelech, 'Enlarge your army and come out!'
30When Zebul the leader of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.

28Who is Abimelech?' Gaal shouted. 'He’s not a true son of Shechem, so why should we be his servants? He’s merely the son of Gideon, and this Zebul is merely his deputy. Serve the true sons of Hamor, the founder of Shechem. Why should we serve Abimelech? 29If I were in charge here, I would get rid of Abimelech. I would say to him, ‘Get some soldiers, and come out and fight!’'
30But when Zebul, the leader of the city, heard what Gaal was saying, he was furious.
