Judges 9:29-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ Would that this people were under my hand! Then would I remove Abimelech and say to him, Increase your army and come out.

³⁰ When Zebul the city’s mayor heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

³¹ And he sent messengers to Abimelech slyly, saying, Behold, Gaal son of Ebed and his kinsmen have come to Shechem; and behold, they stir up the city to rise against you.
