‏ Judges 9:28

9:28  a Who is Abimelech? ... He’s not a true son of Shechem: Gaal focused on Abimelech’s pedigree through his father, Gideon (a non-Shechemite), rather than through his mother (8:31  b; 9:2  c).

• Serve the true sons of Hamor: Gaal’s pedigree apparently went back to Hamor, the founder of Shechem (Gen 33:18–34:31  d).
