Commentary on Judges 9:56

Theological / Devotional

Thus God rendered. These words give the moral of the whole account. The writer of this book felt deeply that God controlled the events of history, punishing both individual and national crimes. The murderer of the sons of Gideon “upon one stone” is killed by a stone striking his head, whereas the wicked Shechemites who used temple money to hire assassins of good men were burned to death in that same temple by the one they aided in the deed. The curse of Jotham had been completely fulfilled.
