What Does Judges 9:55 Mean?
When the Israelites with Abimelech see that he is dead, the campaign instantly collapses. Every man simply turns and goes home to his own place.
A kingdom built on one man's ambition dissolves the moment that man is gone. There is nothing left to hold it together, for it was founded on nothing but his violent will. The sudden, quiet dispersal exposes how empty his power always was. What is raised by bloodshed and pride has no foundation, and when its author falls, it scatters like smoke.
