30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.--Judges 9.30 (KJV)
And when Zebul the ruler of the city…When Zebul is first mentioned it isn’t certain who he really is. But in this verse he is called the “ruler of the city,” that is sār, while earlier Gaal used the word “pāšaṭ.” When referring to him as pāšaṭ, Gaal didn’t use as respectful a word as sār. Abimelech had placed Zebul there in Shechem, under him, but in the position of “ruler of the city”: as such, he was his loyal confidant, or at least he was thought to be.
