Shake — All that heard the noise of his fall, trembled at it. Cast him down — Brought the king and kingdom, as a dead man to the grave among them, that before were dead and buried. All the trees — All kings, and particularly the greatest. All that drink water — Enjoyed great power, riches, and glory. Comforted — He speaks to the dead with allusion to the manner of the living, who rejoice to see the proud brought low.
