There is no king in Israel

There is no king in Israel

By extension: there is no proper governing authority enforcing the law. There is no judge and no justice (in Aramaic: 'there is no judge and no justice'). A situation of lawlessness. There is no strong rule.

("In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes" - Judges 17:6, and also: "And from then until now there is no king in Jeshurun / no king - no lyre and harp / harps sigh, lyres like doves / murmur on the banks of Babylon" - H.N. Bialik / To the Legend)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אֵין גּוּף שִׁלְטוֹנִי תַּקִּין הָאוֹכֵף אֶת הַחֹק. אֵין דִּין וְאֵין דַּיָּן (בַּאֲרָמִית: לֵית דִּין וְלֵית דַּיָּן). מַצָּב שֶׁל הֶפְקֵרוּת. אֵין שִׁלְטוֹן חָזָק.

("בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו יַעֲשֶׂה"- שׁוֹפְטִים יז ו, וְכֵן:"וּמֵאָז וַעַד עַתָּה אֵין מֶלֶךְ בישורון/ אֵין מֶלֶךְ- אֵין כִּנּוֹר וְנָבָל/ עוּגָבִי קוֹל בּוֹכִים, כינורי כְּיוֹנָה/ יהגה עַל אפיקי בָּבֶל" - ח.נ. בְּיָאלִיק/ אַל הָאַגָּדָה)
