ગુજરાતીન્યાયાધીશો ૯:૨૮
એબેદના દીકરા ગાઆલે કહ્યું, “અબીમેલેખ કોણ છે અને શખેમ કોણ છે, કે અમે તેની સેવા કરીએ? શું તે યરુબાલનો દીકરો નથી? અને શું ઝબુલ તેનો અધિકારી નથી? તમે ભલે શખેમના પિતા, હમોરના લોકોની સેવા કરો! શા માટે અમે તેની સેવા કરીએ?
हिन्दीन्यायियों ९:२८
तब एबेद के पुत्र गाल ने कहा, “अबीमेलेक कौन है? शेकेम कौन है कि हम उसके अधीन रहें? क्या वह यरूब्बाल का पुत्र नहीं? क्या जबूल उसका सेनानायक नहीं? शेकेम के पिता हमोर के लोगों के तो अधीन हो, परन्तु हम उसके अधीन क्यों रहें?

In context

26Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

27They went out into the field, harvested their vineyards, trod the grapes, celebrated, and went into the house of their god and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.

28Gaal the son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal? Isn’t Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem, but why should we serve him?

29I wish that this people were under my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech.” He said to Abimelech, “Increase your army and come out!”

30When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.
