A tak teraz jesliżeście prawdziwie a szczyrze uczynili, gdyście sobie królem obrali Abimelecha, a jesliżeście się dobrze obchodzili z Jerobaalem i z domem jego, a jesliście mu odpłacili zasługę jego.
A tak teraz jeźliście prawdziwie a szczerze uczynili, obrawszy sobie królem Abimelecha; a jeźliście się dobrze obeszli z Jerobaalem i z domem jego, a jeźliście podług dobrodziejstw ręki jego uczynili z nim;
Jeśli zatem, postąpiliście rzetelnie i uczciwie, ustanawiając królem Abimelecha; jeśli pięknie postąpiliście z Jerubbaalem i jego domem, i oddaliście według zasługi jego rąk –
A tak teraz jeźliście prawdziwie a szczerze uczynili, obrawszy sobie królem Abimelecha; a jeźliście się dobrze obeszli z Jerobaalem i z domem jego, a jeźliście podług dobrodziejstw ręki jego uczynili z nim;
Teraz więc, jeśli postąpiliście uczciwie i szczerze, ustanawiając sobie Abimeleka królem, i jeśli dobrze obeszliście się z Jerubbaalem i jego domem i odpłaciliście mu za dobrodziejstwa jego ręki;
Jeżeli tedy w sposób godny i prawy uczyniliście to, że ustanowiliście Abimelecha królem, i jeżeli dobrze postąpiliście z Jerubbaalem i z jego domem, i jeżeli odpłaciliście mu według tego, jak zasłużył,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king,.... If they had done this conscientiously, and in the uprightness of their hearts, to take such a base man, and a murderer, and make him their king, which Jotham doubted, and put it in this manner to them, that they might consider of it themselves:
if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal, and his house; if they could think so, which surely they could not, when they reflected upon the murder of his family they had consented to:
and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands; to his memory, and to his family, according to the merit of his works which he had performed on their account, next mentioned.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This fable and that noted in the marginal reference are the only two of the kind found in Scripture. Somewhat different are the parables of the Old Testament, 2 Samuel 12:1-4; 2 Samuel 14:5-11; 1 Kings 20:39-40.
Judges 9:9
Honour God and man - Alluding to the constant use of oil in the meat-offerings Leviticus 2:1-16, and in the holy ointment Exodus 30:24-25. In like manner, the allusion in Judges 9:13 is to the drink-offerings of wine. See Leviticus 23:13; Numbers 15:10.
Judges 9:14
The bramble - Said to be the Rhamnus Paliurus of Linnaeus, otherwise called Spina-Christi, or Christâs Thorn, a shrub with sharp thorns. The application is obvious. The noble Gideon and his worthy sons had declined the proffered kingdom. The vile, base-born Abimelech had accepted it, and his act would turn out to the mutual ruin of himself and his subjects.
Judges 9:15
If in truth - i. e. consistently with truth, honor, and uprightness, as explained in the interpretation in Judges 9:16, Judges 9:19.
Let fire come out ... - The propriety of the image is strictly preserved, for even the thorns of the worthless bramble might kindle a flame which would burn the stately cedars to the ground. See Psalms 58:9.
Judges 9:16-20
These verses contain the interpretation of the fable. In them Jotham points out the base ingratitude of the people in raising Abimelech upon the ruin of Gideonâs house, and foretells the retribution which would fall upon both parties.
