28.以別的兒子迦勒說：「亞比米勒是誰，示劍是誰，使我們服事他呢？他不是耶路巴力的兒子嗎？他的幫手不是西布勒嗎？你們可以服事示劍的父親哈抹的後裔。我們為何服事亞比米勒呢？
Then Gaal son of Ebed said, 「Who is Abimelek, and why should we Shechemites be subject to him? Isn’t he Jerub-Baal’s son, and isn’t Zebul his deputy? Serve the family of Hamor, Shechem’s father! Why should we serve Abimelek?
29.惟願這民歸我的手下，我就除掉亞比米勒。」迦勒又對亞比米勒說：「增添你的軍兵出來吧。」
If only this people were under my command! Then I would get rid of him. I would say to Abimelek, 『Call out your whole army!』」[b]

32.現在你和跟隨你的人今夜起來，在田間埋伏。
Now then, during the night you and your men should come and lie in wait in the fields.
33.到早晨太陽一出，你就起來闖城。迦勒和跟隨他的人出來攻擊你的時候，你便向他們見機而做。」
In the morning at sunrise, advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, seize the opportunity to attack them.」
