Commentaries and Concordances

WES:

9:3 Brethren - That is, kinsmen. He is our brother - They were easily persuaded to believe what served their own interest.

MHC:

9:1-6 The men of Shechem chose Abimelech king. God was not consulted whether they should have any king, much less who it should be. If parents could 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 that we cannot know what shall happen. Above all, we should fear and watch against sin; for our evil conduct may produce fatal effects upon our families, after we are in our graves.
