When Zebul, the city commissioner, heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he was furious.
He sent messengers to Abimelech, who was in Arumah, reporting,“Beware! Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers are coming to Shechem and inciting the city to rebel against you.
Now, come up at night with your men and set an ambush in the field outside the city.
In the morning at sunrise quickly attack the city. When he and his men come out to fight you, do what you can to him.”
So Abimelech and all his men came up at night and set an ambush outside Shechem– they divided into four units.
When Gaal son of Ebed came out and stood at the entrance to the city’s gate, Abimelech and his men got up from their hiding places.
Gaal saw the men and said to Zebul,“Look, men are coming down from the tops of the hills.” But Zebul said to him,“You are seeing the shadows on the hills– it just looks like men.”
