07:009:024 That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of
           Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech
           their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem,
           which aided him in the killing of his brethren.

07:009:025 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 Abimelech.

07:009:026 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over
           to Shechem:  and the men of Shechem put their confidence in
           him.

07:009:027 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
           Abimelech.

07:009:028 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 the men of Hamor the
           father of Shechem:  for why should we serve him?

07:009:029 And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I
           remove Abimelech.  And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine
           army, and come out.

07:009:030 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal
           the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

07:009:031 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold,
           Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and,
           behold, they fortify the city against thee.

07:009:032 Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with
           thee, and lie in wait in the field: 

07:009:033 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is
           up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city:  and, behold,
           when he and the people that is with him come out against thee,
           then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.

07:009:034 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him,
           by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four
           companies.

07:009:035 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering
           of the gate of the city:  and Abimelech rose up, and the people
           that were with him, from lying in wait.

07:009:036 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there
           come people down from the top of the mountains.  And Zebul said
           unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they
           were men.

07:009:037 And Gaal spake again, and said, See there come people down by
           the middle of the land, and another company come along by the
           plain of Meonenim.
