NASB
"When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned."
— Judges 9:30, NASB
“And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.”
“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.”
They went out into the field and gathered the grapes of their vineyards and trod them, and held a festival; and they went into the house of their god, and ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.
Then 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 is Zebul not his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?
"Would, therefore, that this people were under my authority! Then I would remove Abimelech." And he said to Abimelech, "Increase your army and come out."
When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.
He sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, "Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem; and behold, they are stirring up the city against you.
"Now therefore, arise by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field.
"In the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you shall do to them whatever you can."
