# The trees once went out to anoint a king over them. For they said to the olive tree, 'Reign over us.'

In this parable Jotham describes the trees doing things that humans do. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parables]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])

# to anoint a king over them

Here, to anoint with oil is a symbolic action that represents appointing a person to be king. Alternate translation: "to appoint a king to rule over all of them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-symaction]])

# Reign over us

"Be our king"
