The general tone is that Gaal is fomenting revolt. Yet he spoke it while drunk. He basically says, “Who is this Abimelech? He is not even a Shechemite! His father Jerubbaal is from somewhere else! Shechemites should only be ruled by Shechemites! I’m family. If I were king, I’d do a better job of running Shechem than Abimelech. I’d kick him out!” His speech in the Hebrew actually sounds slurred and confused. The crowd is too drunk to notice that Gaal is not a Shechemite, as he just relocated into Shechem.
28 Et Gaal, fils d'Ebed, disait: Qui est Abimélec, et qu'est Sichem, pour que nous servions Abimélec? N'est-il pas fils de Jerubbaal, et Zebul n'est-il pas son commissaire? Servez les hommes de Hamor, père de Sichem; mais nous, pourquoi servirions-nous Abimélec?
