9:1 Abimelech by conspiracy with the Shechemites, and murder of his brethren, is made king;
9:7 Jotham by a parable rebukes them, and foretells their ruin;
9:22 Gaal conspires with the Shechemites against him;
9:30 Zebul reveals it;

9:46 He burns the hold of the god Berith;
9:50 At Thebez he is slain by a piece of a millstone;
9:56 Jotham's curse if fulfilled.

It is of a moderate height, and grows best in sunny places. Its trunk is knotty; bark smooth, of an ash colour: wood solid and yellowish; leaves oblong, almost like those of the willow, of a dark green colour on the upper side, and whitish below. In June it puts forth white flowers, growing in bunches, each of one piece, widening towards the top, and dividing into four parts. After this succeeds the fruit, which is oblong and plump; first green, then pale, and when quite ripe, black. Within it is enclosed a hard stone, filled with oblong seeds. It was the most useful of all trees in the forest; as the bramble was the meanest and most worthless.ReignJudges 8:22, 8:23Reciprocal2 Samuel 14:5 - I am indeed; 2 Chronicles 25:18 - thistle; Ezekiel 17:2 - General; 31:9 - all the trees; Matthew 13:3 - in; Romans 11:17 - and with; 1 Corinthians 12:15 - General Verse 9wherewithExodus 29:2, 29:7, 35:14; Leviticus 2:1; 1 Kings 19:15, 19:16; Psalm 89:20, 104:15; Acts 4:27; 10:38; 1 John 2:20 GodElohim, rather gods; the parable being adapted to the idolatrous Shechemites.to be promoted over the treesHeb. up and down for other trees, Job 1:7, 2:2ReciprocalExodus 27:20 - pure oil olive beaten; Numbers 15:4 - the fourth; Proverbs 27:9 - Ointment; Zechariah 4:3 - General; Romans 11:17 - and with Verse 10Reciprocal1 Samuel 2:30 - them Verse 11Luke 13:6, 13:7

Close to the well are the mouldering walls of a ruined khan; and on the summit of the hill two large arches still remain of a ruined convent. Dr. Richardson says, that it seems to have been once a place of considerable consequence. Numbers 21:16; Joshua 19:8; 2 Samuel 20:14

Verse 36seest the shadowDoubdan states, that in some parts of the Holy Land there are many detached rocks scattered up and down, some growing out of the ground, and others fragments broken off from rocky precipices, the shadow of which, it appears, Josephus thought might be most naturally imagined to look like troops of men at a distance, rather than that of the mountains; for he represents Zebul as saying to Gaal, that he mistook the shadow of the rocks for men.

Every place, says Pliny, in which salt is found is barren, and produces nothing. Hence the sowing of a place with salt was a custom in different nations to express permanent desolation. Sigonius observes, that when Milan was taken, ad 1162, the walls were razed, and it was sown with salt. And Brantome informs us, that it was an ancient custom in France, to sow the house of a man with salt, who had been declared a traitor to his king. Charles IX., king of France, the most base and perfidious of human beings, caused the house of Admiral Coligni - whom he and the Duke of Guise caused to be murdered, with thousands more of Protestants, on the eve of St. Bartholomew, 1572

"All to," observes Dr. Johnson, "is a particle of mere enforcement." The original is wattaritz eth gulgalto, which is simply as the LXX render και εκλασε το κρανιον αυτου, "and she brake his skull."

Verse 56God renderedBoth the fratricide Abimelech and the unprincipled men of Shechem had the iniquity visited upon them of which they had been guilty. Man's judgment may be avoided; but there is no escape from that of God. How many houses have been sown with salt in France, by the just judgment of God, for the massacre of the Protestants on the eve of St. Bartholomew!
