Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ הָעֵצִ֖ים לַתְּאֵנָ֑ה לְכִי־אַ֖תְּ מָלְכִ֥י עָלֵֽינוּ
and=they_said the,trees to_the,fig_tree come you reign over,us
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “So the trees asked the fig tree to come and reign over them”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
לְכִי־אַ֖תְּ מָלְכִ֥י עָלֵֽינוּ
come you reign over,us
For emphasis, the trees are stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated as reign. The idea is that if the olive tree will not be their king, then the trees would like the fig tree to be their king. Alternate translation: “Then you be the one to reign over us”
9:1-57 The reign of Abimelech was the turning point between the comparative rest of the early period of judges (3:7–8:35) and the decline of the later years (10:1–16:31).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
