| Judges 9:27
| Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing, they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech.
| Cups. Such revellings were common in the days of vintage; (Isaias 16:10., and Jeremias 48:33,) and they generally accompanied the heathenish sacrifices, Judges 16:24. They went to give thanks to their god, for having delivered them, (Calmet) as they thought, from the power of Abimelech. (Haydock)
