KJV - Judges 9:28

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?

Gaal, son of Ebed, asked, "Who are Abimelech and Shechem that we should follow them?" Aren't they just Jerubbaal's son and Zebul's officer? We should serve Hamor, Shechem's dad, instead. Why should we follow anyone else?
