gaal <JUG9 -26  And {Gaal} the son of Ebed came with his

brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put

their confidence in him.

gaal <JUG9 -28> And {Gaal} the son of Ebed said, Who [is]

Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we should serve him? [is]

not [he] the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the

men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?

gaal <JUG9 -30> And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the

words of {Gaal} the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

gaal <JUG9 -31> And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily,

saying, Behold, {Gaal} the son of Ebed and his brethren be come

to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.

gaal <JUG9 -35> And {Gaal} the son of Ebed went out, and stood

in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up,

and the people that [were] with him, from lying in wait.

gaal <JUG9 -36> And when {Gaal} saw the people, he said to Zebul,

 Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains.

And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains

as [if they were] men.

gaal <JUG9 -37> And {Gaal} spake again and said, See there come

people down by the middle of the land, and another company come

along by the plain of Meonenim.

gaal <JUG9 -39> And {Gaal} went out before the men of Shechem,

and fought with Abimelech.

gaal <JUG9 -41> And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust

out {Gaal} and his brethren, that they should not dwell in

Shechem.
