5. Psalms 78:47

   He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.

   ›Commentary on Psalms 78:472 voices

   “He destroyed their vines with hail - Margin, killed. See Exo 9:22-26. In the account in Exodus the hail is said to have smitten man and beast, the herb, and the tree of the field. In the psalm only one thing is mentioned, perhaps denoting the ruin by what would be particularly felt in Palestine, where the culture of the grape was so common and so important. And their sycamore trees with frost - The sycamore is mentioned particularly as giving poetic beauty to the passage.

6. Isaiah 9:10

   “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with finished stone; the sycamores have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”

   ›Commentary on Isaiah 9:102 voices

   “Chapter IX - (Verses 8 onwards) The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth.

   Because the prophet recognized that the Jewish people would perish from the faith and because he foresaw that there would arise within the church holy apostles, through whom many of the Gentiles would be established in the strength of faith and life, he spoke with great encouragement, saying, "The stones have fallen, but we will build with square stones."

Now hear the word of the Lord: You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of idolatry.'

   “Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah,....

8. Luke 19:4

   So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way.

   ›Commentary on Luke 19:41 voice

   “He has well added, that our Lord was to pass that way, either where the sycamore-tree was, or where he was who was about to believe, that so He might preserve the mystery, and sow the seeds of grace. For He had so come as that through the Jews He came to the Gentiles. He sees then Zacchæus above, for already the excellence of his faith shone forth amidst the fruits of good works, and the loftiness of the fruitful tree; but Zacchæus stands out above the tree, as one who is above the law.
