28. तब एबेद के पुत्रा गाल ने कहा, अबीमेलेक कौन है? शकेम कौन है कि हम उसके अधीन रहें? क्या वह यरूब्बाल का पुत्रा नहीं? शकेम के पिता हमोर के लोगों के तो अधीन हो, परन्तु हमे उसके अधीन क्यों रहें?
28. Then Gaal son of Ebed said, 'We are the men of Shechem. Why should we obey Abimelech? Who does he think he is? Abimelech is one of Jerub Baal's sons, right? And Abimelech made Zebul his officer, right? We should not obey Abimelech. We should follow our own people, men from Hamor. (Hamor was the father of Shechem.)
