The trees went to anoint a king over them...

The trees went to anoint a king over them...

The metaphor of the beginning of the "Parable of Jotham" and its meaning is that just as a thorn that does not bear fruit is prepared to rule over others, so too is a man who is empty and devoid of any interest in ruling or ruling over others, because he has no other power or good left to do (in a source narrated about Jotham who told this parable, on the contrary) Abimelech).

("The trees went to anoint a king over them, and said to the sycamore tree, "Give us a queen." And the sycamore tree said to them, "Have I forsaken my word, which I had in me to honor God and man, and gone to be promoted over the trees?...And the sycamore tree said to the trees, "If you truly anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shadow" - Judges 9:8-11, and so: "No "Abimelech, the younger of his brothers, Jotham/ Among the Philistines, the charioteer for the sword of vengeance/ A mighty man in words/ On the top of his groves" - Nathan Jonathan/ Jonathan Avib)
