Judges 9:28-30

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁸ Gaal son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who are we of Shechem, that we should serve him? Were not the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul, his officer, servants of the men of Hamor the father and founder of Shechem? Then why should we serve him?

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.
