Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Judges 9:28:

• Kupsabiny: “Then, Gaal son of Ebed said, ‘Who is really this guy called Abimelech? Does this guy really rule Shechem? Is this man not just a son of Gideon? Is it not Zebul who is in charge of this city on his behalf? Why should he rule us? Don’t you know that we come from the house of Shechem who is/was the son of Hamor? So, let the king come from the house of Hamor!” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “At that time Gaal son of Ebed said — "Who is Abimelech?" And what is Shechem that we should serve him? What! Isn’t he Jerub-baal’s son? And as for his deputy, isn’t it Zebul? Serve the men of Hamor who founded Shechem! Why should we serve Abimelech?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Gaal said, ‘What kind of people are we (excl.) in Shekem? Why are- we (incl.) -subject-to/under-the-jurisdiction-of Abimelec? Who really is he? (Is it) not (so) that he is just a child/(son) of Gideon? So, why should- we -be-under- his -jurisdiction/be-subject to him or to Zebul who leads for him? You (plur.) should-be-subject-to/under-the-jurisdiction-of the descendant of your (plur.) ancestor Hamor.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Gaal said, ‘Why should we allow Abimelech to rule over us?/We should not allow Abimelech to rule over us! He is only one of Gideon’s sons so he really does not belong to us ! And he appointed Zebul, the governor of our city, to be his deputy! We should serve/be loyal to one of the descendants of Hamor, the founder of our city, and let him be our leader, not Abimelech !” (Source: Translation for Translators)
