When Zebul heard about this The phrase "When Zebul heard about this" introduces us to Zebul, a key figure in the narrative of Judges 9. Zebul was the governor of Shechem under Abimelech, the son of Gideon. The Hebrew root for "heard" is "שָׁמַע" (shama), which implies not just the act of hearing but also understanding and perceiving. This suggests that Zebul was not only informed but also comprehended the gravity of the situation. Historically, Shechem was a significant city in ancient Israel, often associated with covenantal events. Zebul's role as governor indicates his political and social influence, and his reaction is pivotal in the unfolding drama between Abimelech and the men of Shechem. he burned with anger Parallel Commentaries ...
