Juízes 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:10

And the trees said to the fig tree
Another useful and fruit bearing tree, and to which also good men are sometimes compared, see ( Song of Solomon 2:13 ) ,

come thou, and reign over us:
which Jarchi applies to Deborah, but may be better applied to one of Gideon's sons, who, though they had not a personal offer of kingly government themselves, yet it was made to them through their father, and refused, as for himself, so for them; and had it been offered to them, they would have rejected it, as Jotham seems to intimate by this parable.

Juízes 9:10 In-Context

8 Foram uma vez as árvores a ungir para si um rei; e disseram � oliveira: Reina tu sobre nós.

9 Mas a oliveira lhes respondeu: Deixaria eu a minha gordura, que Deus e os homens em mim prezam, para ir balouçar sobre as árvores?

10 Então disseram as árvores � figueira: Vem tu, e reina sobre nós.

11 Mas a figueira lhes respondeu: Deixaria eu a minha doçura, o meu bom fruto, para ir balouçar sobre as árvores?

12 Disseram então as árvores � videira: Vem tu, e reina sobre nós.
