Jueces 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.

Jueces 9:10 In-Context

8 Una vez los árboles fueron a ungir un rey sobre ellos, y dijeron al olivo: "Reina sobre nosotros."

9 Mas el olivo les respondió: "¿He de dejar mi aceite con el cual se honra a Dios y a los hombres, para ir a ondear sobre los árboles?"

10 Entonces los árboles dijeron a la higuera: "Ven, reina sobre nosotros."

11 Pero la higuera les respondió: "¿He de dejar mi dulzura y mi buen fruto, para ir a ondear sobre los árboles?"

12 Después los árboles dijeron a la vid: "Ven tú, reina sobre nosotros."
