Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 4:25

25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine, and under his fig-tree , from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

Enjoying the fruit of his own labours with safety and comfort. Under these two Trees, which were most used and cultivated by the Israelites, he understands all other Fruitbearing Trees, and all other comforts, by a Synecdoche. And they are brought in as sitting or dwelling under these Trees, partly for recreation or delight in the shade; and partly, for the comfort or advantage of the Fruit; and withal, to note their great security, not onely in their strong Cities, but even in the Country, where the Vines and Figtrees grew, which were most open to the incursions of their Enemies.
