That line comes from the Bible (Judges 8:23). In simple terms Gideon is saying: "I won't be your king, and my son won't be your king either. God should be the one who rules over you."

Context: After Gideon led Israel to victory, the people wanted him to rule them. He refused, rejecting personal or dynastic rule and insisting that ultimate authority belongs to God.
