The messengers Zebul the ruler of the city sends to Abimelech craftily

성읍 장관 스불이 아비멜렉에게 가만히 보낸 사자

Judges 9:30–33: when Zebul the ruler of the city hears the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burns. He sends messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, “Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem; and behold, they incite the city against you. Now therefore, go up by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field. It shall be that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush on the city. Behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, then may you do to them as you shall find occasion.”
