And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abim´elech.
And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abim´elech.
And Ga´al the son of Ebed said, Who is Abim´elech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubba´al? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
