And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 18 is found in chapter 9 of Judges. Jotham speaks from Mount Gerizim through the parable of the trees. The useful trees refuse to rule, while the thornbush accepts power and threatens to destroy the others. The parable criticizes Abimelech’s desire for rule without turning it into an abstract theory of leadership: its application is specifically directed toward the alliance between Abimelech and Shechem. Jotham also announces that the violent pact between them will eventually destroy both sides.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
