Did you know that Jotham's fable has been read as a warning against societies that settle for unworthy leaders instead of persuading the best to serve?
Jotham's fable (also Jotham's parable or the parable of the bramble; Hebrew: משל יותם, Mashal Yotam) is a fable in the Book of Judges (Judges 9:7–21), spoken by Jotham, the youngest son of Gideon. After Gideon's death, Jotham's half-brother Abimelech killed Gideon's other sons and was made king by the people of Shechem. Jotham, the only survivor, told the fable from Mount Gerizim as a protest against the new king.
