• The trees said to the vine: 'Come and reign over us.' (Judges 9, 12)

• The vine answered, 'Am I going to renounce my juice which cheers gods and men to hold sway over the trees?' (Judges 9, 13)

• Then the trees said to the bramble bush: 'Come, reign over us.' (Judges 9, 14)

• The bramble bush answered the trees, 'If you come in sincerity to anoint me as your king, then come near and take shelter in my shade; but if not, let fire break out of the bramble bush to devour even the cedars of Lebanon.' (Judges 9, 15)

• To do him harm, the lords of Shechem prepared ambushes against Abimelech on the mountaintops, and intimidated everyone who passed by the way. Abimelech was informed of this. (Judges 9, 25)

• Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, exclaimed, "Who is Abimelech for the Shechemites that we should serve him? He is only the son of Jerubaal, and Zebul is but his town captain. Let us serve the people of Hamor, the father of Shechem. Why should we serve Abimelech? (Judges 9, 28)

• He sent messengers to Abimelech in secret to say to him, "See, Gaal, the son of Ebed, has come with his brothers to Shechem and he is stirring up the city against you. (Judges 9, 31)

• By early morning at sunrise, go and rush upon the city. When Gaal comes out against you with his men, you may do to him whatever you wish." (Judges 9, 33)

• Zebul then said, "Did you not say: Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Are not these men those whom you despised? Go now and fight them." (Judges 9, 38)

• Abimelech pursued Gaal who fled and many fell dead before reaching the gates. (Judges 9, 40)
