Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 9:22

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

22. When Abimelech had reigned three years —His reign did not, probably at first, extend beyond Shechem; but by stealthy and progressive encroachments he subjected some of the neighboring towns to his sway. None could "reign" in Israel, except by rebellious usurpation; and hence the reign of Abimelech is expressed in the original by a word signifying "despotism," not that which describes the mild and divinely authorized rule of the judge. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-23" class="com-number"
