Judg 9:26 ¶ Now Gaal1603 the son1121 of Ebed5651 came935 with his relatives251, and crossed5674a over5674a into Shechem7927; and the men1167 of Shechem7927 put982 their trust982 in him.
Judg 9:28 Then Gaal1603 the son1121 of Ebed5651 said559, "Who4310 is Abimelech40, and who4310 is Shechem7927, that we should serve5647 him? Is he not the son1121 of Jerubbaal3378, and is Zebul2083not his lieutenant6496? Serve5647 the men376 of Hamor2544 the father1 of Shechem7927; but why4069 should we serve5647 him?
Judg 9:30 ¶ When Zebul2083 the ruler8269 of the city5892b heard8085 the words1697 of Gaal1603 the son1121 of Ebed5651, his anger639 burned2734.
Judg 9:31 He sent7971 messengers4397 to Abimelech40 deceitfully8649a, saying559, "Behold2009, Gaal1603 the son1121 of Ebed5651 and his relatives251 have come935 to Shechem7927; and behold2009, they are stirring6696a up the city5892b against5921 you.
Judg 9:35 Now Gaal1603 the son1121 of Ebed5651 went3318 out and stood5975 in the entrance6607 of the city5892b gate8179; and Abimelech40 and the people5971a who834were with him arose6965 from the ambush3993.
Judg 9:36 When Gaal1603 saw7200 the people5971a, he said559 to Zebul2083, "Look2009, people5971a are coming3381 down3381 from the tops7218 of the mountains2022." But Zebul2083 said559 to him, "You are seeing7200 the shadow6738 of the mountains2022 as if they were men376."
Judg 9:37 Gaal1603 spoke1696 again5750,3254 and said559, "Behold2009, people5971a are coming3381 down3381 from the highest2872 part2872 of the land776, and one259 company7218 comes935 by the way1870 of the diviners'6049a oak436."
Judg 9:39 So Gaal1603 went3318 out before6440 the leaders1167 of Shechem7927 and fought3898a with Abimelech40.
Judg 9:41 Then Abimelech40 remained3427 at Arumah725, but Zebul2083 drove1644 out Gaal1603 and his relatives251 so4480 that they could not remain3427 in Shechem7927.
