The thistle

Jdg 9:8-15; 2Sa 12:1-4; 1Ki 4:33; Eze 20:49; The word choach , which is rendered here, and in 2Ch 25:18; Job 31:18,; thistle , in 1Sa 13:6,; thicket , in Isa 34:13; bramble, and in 2Ch 33:11; Pro 26:9; Sgs 2:2; Hsa 9:6; thorn , is probably the black thorn , or sloe tree , the prunus spinosa of Linnĉus, as the same word signifies in Arabic. There is a vast deal of insolent dignity in this remonstrance of Jehoash; but it has nothing conciliatory; no proposal of making amends for the injury his army had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah. 2Ch 25:10-13; The comparitively useless thorn, which may be the emblem of the house of Judah and David, while the house of Jehu is represented by the stately cedar. |
