## Judges 9:10 in Context (Verses 7–13 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/judges/9/7) ¶ And when they told *it* to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/judges/9/8) The trees went forth *on a time* to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/judges/9/9) But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/judges/9/10) And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, *and* reign over us.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/judges/9/11) But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
 
 [12 ](/kjv/judges/9/12) Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, *and* reign over us.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/judges/9/13) And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
