  Gaal
     loathing, the son of Ebed, in whom the Shechemites "placed their
     confidence" when they became discontented with Abimelech. He
     headed the revolution, and led out the men of Shechem against
     Abimelech; but was defeated, and fled to his own home (Judg.
     9:26-46). We hear no more of him after this battle.
