Judges - 9:26 Meaning
“And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
9:22-29 Abimelech is seated in the throne his father refused. But how long does this glory last? Stay but three years, and see the bramble withered and burned. The prosperity of the wicked is short and fickle. The Shechemites are plagued by no other hand than Abimelech's. They raised him unjustly to the throne; they first feel the weight of his sceptre.
“Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.”
