Judges 9:28, 38-40

Judges 9:28 NCV

Gaal son of Ebed said, “We are the men of Shechem. Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Isn’t he one of Gideon’s sons, and isn’t Zebul his officer? We should serve the men of Hamor, Shechem’s father. Why should we serve Abimelech?

Judges 9:38-40 NCV

Zebul said to Gaal, “Where is your bragging now? You said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ You made fun of these men. Now go out and fight them.” So Gaal led the men of Shechem out to fight Abimelech. Abimelech and his men chased them, and many of Gaal’s men were killed before they could get back to the city gate.
