29. Would that this people were under my hand! Then would I remove Abimelech and say to him, Increase your army and come out.
30. When Zebul the city's mayor heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
31. And he sent messengers to Abimelech slyly, saying, Behold, Gaal son of Ebed and his kinsmen have come to Shechem; and behold, they stir up the city to rise against you.
32. Now therefore, rise up by night, you and the men with you, and lie in wait in the field.
33. Then in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, rise early and set upon the city; and when Gaal and the men with him come out against you, do to them as opportunity permits.
