Judges 9:28

וַיֹּאמֶר ׀ גַּעַל בֶּן ־ עֶבֶד מִֽי ־ אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וּמִֽי ־ שְׁכֶם כִּי נַעַבְדֶנּוּ הֲלֹא בֶן ־ יְרֻבַּעַל וּזְבֻל פְּקִידוֹ עִבְדוּ אֶת ־ אַנְשֵׁי חֲמוֹר אֲבִי שְׁכֶם וּמַדּוּעַ נַעַבְדֶנּוּ אֲנָֽחְנוּ ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
