Judges 9:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ For the men of Shechem set an ambush for Abimelech along the trail at the top of the mountain. (While they were waiting for him to come along, they robbed everyone else who passed that way.) But someone warned Abimelech about their plot.

²⁶ At that time Gaal (the son of Ebed) moved to Shechem with his brothers, and he became one of the leading citizens. ²⁷ During the harvest feast at Shechem that year, held in the temple of the local god, the wine flowed freely and everyone began cursing Abimelech.
