Judges 9:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

If in truth you anoint me king over you; if you deal truly and justly in making me king. Put your trust in my shadow; then you may expect protection under my government. Let fire come out of the bramble; instead of protection, you shall receive destruction by me; especially you cedars, i.e. nobles, such as the house of Millo, who have been most forward in this work.

Judges 9:15

15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
