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.Reign Judges 8:22, 8:23 Reciprocal 2 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 9 wherewith Exodus 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, 2:2 Reciprocal Exodus 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 10 Reciprocal 1 Samuel 2:30 - them Verse 11 Luke 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 22 Reciprocal Judges 11:26 - three hundred Verse 23 am GodThat is, God permitted the evil spirit of jealousy, treachery, and discord, to break out between Abimelech and the Shechemites.

Accessories will be reckoned with, as well as principals, in that and other sins. The Shechemites, who countenanced Abimelech's pretensions, aided and abetted him in his bloody project, and avowed the fact by making him king after he had done it, must fall with him, fall by him, and fall first. Those that combine together to do wickedly, are justly dashed in pieces one against another.

He was probably one of the descendants of the Canaanites, who hoped, from the state of the public mind and their disaffection to Abimelech, to cause a revolution, and thus to restore the ancient government as it was under Hamor, the father of Shechem. Josephus says he was a man of authority, who sojourned with them, with his armed men and kinsmen; and that the Shechemites desired that he would allow them a guard during the vintage.the people Judges 9:44
Verse 36 seest 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.

Ezekiel 47:11; Zephaniah 2:9; James 2:13 sowedSalt in small quantities renders land extremely fertile; but too much of it destroys vegetation. 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

Verse 53 woman Judges 9:15, 9:20; 2 Samuel 11:21, 20:21; Job 31:3; Jeremiah 49:20, 50:45 and all toAn antiquated expression, meaning "full intention" to complete an object. "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." Plutarch relates, that Pyrrhus was killed at the siege of Thebes, by a piece of a tile, which a woman threw upon his head.Reciprocal Ecclesiastes 10:8 - that Verse 54 Draw thy 1 Samuel 31:4, 31:5 And his young manIt was a disgrace to be killed by a woman.Reciprocal Judges 4:9 - into; 8:21 - Rise thou; 2 Samuel 1:7 - Here am I; 1:10 - slew; 1 Kings 16:18 - and burnt the king's house; 1 Chronicles 10:4 - Draw; Jeremiah 38:19 - mock; Matthew 27:5 - and departed; Acts 16:27 - he drew Verse 55 2 Samuel 18:16, 20:21, 20:22; 1 Kings 22:35, 22:36; Proverbs 22:10
Verse 56 God 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!
