Judges 9:15

And the thorn bush said to the trees, 'If you truly anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade, and if not, let fire come out from the thorn bush and devour the cedars of Lebanon.'"[Ironically, it is ultimately the thorn bush, which contributes nothing positive to mankind, that accepts the proposal to rule. Compared to the cedars of Lebanon, the olive tree, the fig tree, and the vine are not as tall, and they also bear fruit. These three trees are three of the seven species that specifically represent Israel. They can be interpreted as the true Israelites who do not want to see Avimelech as king.]
