Judges 9:22 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel, — Judges 9:22
Source Coverage: Judges 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.
