Strong rods; many excellent persons endowed with qualifications befitting kings, that they might sway the sceptre, and rule the people with equity. Her stature; the grandeur of the kings and kingdom. Exalted among the thick branches; exalted above the ordinary majesty of other kingdoms. The thick branches; the goodly cedars and their thick branches; i.e. this kingdom equalled, if not excelled, the greatest neighbour kingdoms, and her kings, as David, Solomon, &c. exceeded all their neighbour kings in riches and power. She appeared in her height; like a mighty tree, that overtops all the forest, so did this goodly kingdom over all kingdoms, and it was seen and noted, according to God's promise that it should be the head, and not the tail, and to that Deuteronomy 4:6-8.
