And Abimelech remained in Arumah. And Zebul threw Gaal and his brothers out from living in Shechem.
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and Zebul his commander? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem! And why should we serve him?
And Zebul, the leader of the city, heard the words of Gaal, the son of Ebed; and his anger burned.
And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him. And many fell down wounded, to the opening of the gate.
And it happened on the next day, the people went out in the field and told Abimelech.
