To shake; all that heard the noise of his fall trembled at it, it was as God intended it should be, an astonishment to them all. Cast him down to hell; brought the king and kingdom, as a dead man, to the grave, among them that be. fore were dead and buried. All the trees of Eden; all kings, and particularly the greatest and richest, called here the choice and best of Lebanon. All that drink water; did enjoy great power, riches, and worldly glory. Shall be comforted: it is a prosopopoeia, and he speaks of the dead with allusion to the manner of the living, who rejoice to see the proud brought as low as the lowest; thus the prophet, Isaiah 14:9,10.
