Judges 9:26-28

New International Version

²⁶ Now Gaal son of Ebed^(A) moved with his clan into Shechem, and its citizens put their confidence in him. ²⁷ After they had gone out into the fields and gathered the grapes and trodden^(B) them, they held a festival in the temple of their god.^(C) While they were eating and drinking, they cursed Abimelek. ²⁸ Then Gaal son of Ebed^(D) said, “Who^(E) is Abimelek, and why should we Shechemites be subject to him? Isn’t he Jerub-Baal’s son, and isn’t Zebul his deputy? Serve the family of Hamor,^(F) Shechem’s father! Why should we serve Abimelek?
