The Period Of The Judges, Jotham's Fable, Judges 9:7-15

The Period Of The Judges, Jotham's Fable, Judges 9:7-15

There are tremendous lessons in this fable. For example, the general worthlessness of kings appears here. "This contempt for the monarchy is apparent at a very early date in ‘Judges.’ In this fable, the briar, which is good for nothing else, has the leisure to become king, but it cannot provide shelter for the trees, and is more likely to catch fire and include all of them in its ruin."—FREE BIBLE STUDY!
