Usage: The name Zebul appears in the context of the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible. It is used as a proper noun to identify a specific individual.

Context: Zebul is a character mentioned in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 9. He is identified as the governor of the city of Shechem under the rule of Abimelech, the son of Gideon. Zebul plays a significant role in the narrative of Abimelech's rise and fall. In Judges 9:28, Zebul is confronted by Gaal, the son of Ebed, who questions Abimelech's authority and incites the people of Shechem against him. Zebul, loyal to Abimelech, informs him of Gaal's intentions and devises a plan to defeat Gaal and his followers. Zebul's actions demonstrate his political acumen and loyalty to Abimelech, despite the internal strife within Shechem. The account of Zebul highlights themes of loyalty, political intrigue, and the complexities of leadership during the period of the Judges.
