Thistle. See Thorns.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


Gen_3:18 (c) This is a very fitting symbol of the sticking, stinging troubles of life which have come upon us because of the curse. It represents the smallest of our troubles. The briers are larger troubles. Brambles are still larger, and thorns are the largest and the worst of all injuries, sins and difficulties. Thorns were placed upon our Lord JESUS because He suffered the greatest and the most severe of all troubles that come to human beings. (See under BRAMBLE, BRIER and THORN).

2Ki_14:9 (a) Amaziah, the King of Judah, is this thistle. He was an annoying person, as thistles are annoying. He was meddling with trouble, and causing difficulties that never should have existed. (See 2Ch_25:18).

is the rendering, in the A.V., of two Heb. and one Gr. word: 1. דִּרְדִּר, darddr, any thorny plant, especially of the weed-like sort; always collectively in parallelism with קוֹוֹ, kots, “thorn” (Genesis 3, 18; Hos_10:8); 2. חוֹחִ, choäch, a stronger or hook-like thorny bush (2Ki_14:9; 2Ch_25:18; Job_31:40; elsewhere “thorn,” etc.); 3. τρίβολος, a three-pronged thorn, the caltrop (Mat_7:16; “brier,” Heb_6:8). The tendency of all vegetation in Palestine to run into spines, noticeable in the merest weeds as well as in trees, is a subject of remark to all travelers (see Hackett, Illust. of Script. p. 126). The thistle (a common name for various genera, especially Carduus cirsium, etc.) grows abundantly in. most countries, and is a small plant; but in the warm air of Palestine, and in rich soils like the plain of Esdraelon, the large and luxuriant thistle will overtop the mounted horseman. On the road from Jerusalem to Ramaj Hasselquist (Travels,-p. 280) found six different sorts; and in the south of Judaea, in the course of one afternoon, Messrs. M'Cheyne and Bonar counted ten or eleven species. Miss Beaufort speaks of giant thistles of the height of a man on horseback, which she saw near the ruins of Felham (Egyptian Sep. and Syrian Shrines, 2, 45, 50). “The most common species of this weed in Palestine are, Notobasis Syriaca, a tall flowering pink thistle with powerful spines; Scolymus maculatus, a very noxious plant, with a bright-orange flower and Carthemus oxycantha, another yellow-flowering thistle. Whose formidable spines inflict irritating wounds, like the sting of a poisonous insect” (Tristram, Nat. Hist. of the Bible, p. 424 sq.). SEE THORN.
