Richtere 9:13 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:13

And the vine said unto them
By way of denial and refusal, as the other two:

shall I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man;
which being used in the drink offerings was acceptable to God, and of a sweet savour to him, ( Numbers 15:7 ) and being drank by than, revives, refreshes, and makes glad, when before sorrowful, drooping, faint, and weary, ( Psalms 104:15 ) though some by Elohim, rendered God, understand great personages, as men of quality, magistrates and by man the common people, and so in ( Judges 9:9 )

and go to be promoted over the trees?
all speak the same language, being of the same sentiment.

12 Toen zeiden de bomen tot den wijnstok: Kom gij, wees koning over ons.

15 En de doornenbos zeide tot de bomen: Indien gij mij in waarheid tot een koning over u zalft, zo komt, vertrouwt u onder mijn schaduw; maar indien niet, zo ga vuur uit de doornenbos, en vertere de cederen van de Libanon.
