NETBible

“The trees were determined to go out¹ and choose a king for themselves.² They said to the olive tree, ‘Be our king!’³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Going they went, the trees.” The precise emphatic force of the infinitive absolute (“Going”) is not entirely clear. Perhaps here it indicates determination, as in Gen 31:30, where one might translate, “You have insisted on going away.”

²tn Heb “to anoint [with oil] over them a king.”

³tn Or “Rule over us!”
