Vine is also associated with the tribes of Israel and the genius of the Eleeos. Just as grapes for vintage wine are crushed in a vat, David appeared to bring succour to Saul and his troops in the valley of Elah. This proclivity seeks to staunch bleeding as a good Samaritan and alleviate the pain of the sufferer, which is why it is called the drink of kings. The metaphor of grapes being crushed to make wine is a powerful one that speaks to the transformative power of pain and suffering.

But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid; For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken” (Micah 4:3-4)
