Meanwhile, Gaal son of Ebed came with his brothers
Gaal's arrival in Shechem marks a significant turning point in the narrative. His name, meaning "loathing" or "abhorrence," may foreshadow his role in the story. The mention of his brothers suggests a familial alliance, which was a common practice in ancient times to strengthen one's position. This familial support could indicate a potential threat to Abimelech's rule, as family units often acted as political factions. The presence of Gaal and his brothers in Shechem introduces a new dynamic, as they are outsiders entering a city with its own complex history and political tensions.

and crossed into Shechem
Shechem holds a prominent place in biblical history. It was a city of refuge and a significant location for covenant renewals, such as the one led by Joshua (Joshua 24). The city's strategic location in the hill country of Ephraim made it a central hub for trade and politics. Archaeological evidence suggests that Shechem was a fortified city during this period, which would have made it an attractive target for political maneuvering. Gaal's crossing into Shechem signifies a potential shift in power dynamics, as the city was already under the influence of Abimelech, who had familial ties to the region through his mother.

and the leaders of Shechem put their confidence in him
The leaders of Shechem, or "lords of Shechem," were likely the city's ruling elite, possibly including tribal elders and influential families. Their decision to place confidence in Gaal indicates dissatisfaction with Abimelech's rule. This shift in allegiance could be attributed to Abimelech's violent rise to power, which included the massacre of his seventy brothers (Judges 9:5). The leaders' support of Gaal suggests a desire for change and possibly a return to more traditional tribal leadership. This act of confidence can be seen as a political gamble, as aligning with Gaal could either restore stability or lead to further conflict. The leaders' decision reflects the broader theme of the cyclical nature of Israel's leadership struggles during the time of the Judges.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Judges 9

Who was Abimelech, son of Gideon, in the Bible?

Is there any archaeological evidence supporting the destruction of Shechem as described (Judges 9)?

Why would God send an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem (Judges 9:23)?

Does the account of Abimelech's violent rule conflict with other Old Testament portrayals of just leadership (Judges 9:22-24)?(26)Gaal the son of Ebed.--We are not told any further who he was; but the context leads us to infer that he was one of these freebooters, and probably belonged to the Canaanite population. His "brethren" may have formed the nucleus of a marauding band. Josephus says he was "a certain chief, with his soldiers and kinsmen." For Ebed some MSS. and versions read Eber, and some Jobel. "Gaal Ben-Ebed" ("loathing son of a slave ") sounds like some contemptuous distortion of his real name.

Went over to Shechem.--Possibly he had been practising brigandage on the other side of the Jordan.

Verse 26. -Gaal the son of Ebed. Who he was, or of what tribe or race he and his brethren were, we have no means of knowing; he seems to have been an adventurer who sought to turn the growing disaffection of the Shechemites to his own advantage by offering himself as a leader of the malcontents. Several MSS. and editions and versions readEber forEbed.
