Judges 9:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come.

³⁰ For Zebul the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry,

³¹ And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold Gaal the son of Obed is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee.
