'Rule Over' in the Bible

The men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your sons, and your sons' son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.

But Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; Yahweh will rule over you."

"{Speak to} the lords of Shechem, 'What [is] better for you, that seventy men all from the sons of Jerub-Baal rule over you, or that one man rules over you?' Remember that I [am] your bone and your flesh."

"The trees went certainly, to anoint a king over themselves. And they said to the olive tree, 'Rule over us.'

Then the trees said to the fig tree, 'You, come rule over us.'

And the trees said to the vine, 'You, come rule over us.'

So all the trees said to the thornbush, 'You, come rule over us.'
