Gaal chased by Abimelech, and driven out by Zebul

아비멜렉에게 쫓겨 도망한 가알과 가알을 쫓아낸 스불

Judges 9:34–41: Abimelech rises up, and all the people who are with him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem in four companies. Gaal the son of Ebed goes out, and stands in the entrance of the gate of the city. Abimelech rises up, and the people who are with him, from the ambush. When Gaal sees the people, he says to Zebul, “Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains.” Zebul says to him, “You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men.” Gaal speaks again and says, “Behold, people are coming down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim.” Then Zebul says to him, “Now where is your mouth, that you said, ‘Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Isn’t this the people that you have despised? Please go out now and fight with them.” Gaal goes out before the men of Shechem, and fights with Abimelech. Abimelech chases Gaal, and Gaal flees before him, and many fall wounded, even to the entrance of the gate. Abimelech lives at Arumah; and Zebul drives out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
