— Judges 9:30, American Standard Version
“And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.”
“When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.”
“When Zebul, the city commissioner, heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he was furious.”
“For Zebul, the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry,”
“Now Zebul, the ruler of the town, hearing what Gaal, the son of Ebed, had said, was moved to wrath.”
“And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.”
And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trodthe grapes, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
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 ye the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: but why should we serve him?
And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
And he sent messengers unto Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem; and, behold, they constrain the city to take part against thee.
Now therefore, up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
and it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and rush upon the city; and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
