SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:3
Y hablaron por él los hermanos de su madre a oídos de todos los señores de Siquem todas estas palabras; y el corazón de ellos se inclinó en favor de Abimelec, porque decían: Nuestro hermano es.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 9:3
Verse 3. He is our brother.] We shall be raised to places of trust under him, and our city will be the capital of the kingdom.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And his mother’s brethren spake of him in the ears of the men of Shechem all these words , etc.] Got them together in some certain place, and laid before them all that Abimelech had suggested to them, and spake in his favour to them: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, he is our brother ; being fond of kingly government, as the Israelites generally were, it seemed most agreeable to them to have one king over them, and none more acceptable than one so nearly related to them, who they doubted not, from his alliance to them, would be ready to oblige them on all occasions.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - The men of Shechem chose Abimelech king. God was not consulted whethe they should have any king, much less who it should be. If parents coul see what their children would do, and what they are to suffer, their joy in them often would be turned into sorrow: we may be thankful tha we cannot know what shall happen. Above all, we should fear and watc against sin; for our evil conduct may produce fatal effects upon ou families, after we are in our graves.
