Ezekiel 19:11

11 And it had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

Commentary

Adam Clarke
Verse 11 She had strong rods - Zedekiah, and his many sons. Her stature was exalted - Zedekiah grew proud of his numerous offspring and prosperity; and although he copied the example of Jehoiakim, yet he thought he might safely rebel against the king of Babylon.
Pulpit Commentary
Eze 19:11

The verse describes generally the apparent strength of the kingly line of David. The word for thick branches, which occurs again in Eze 31:3, Eze 31:10, Eze 31:14, is taken by Keil and Furst as meaning "thick clouds," as describing the height to which the tree grew. So the Revised Version (margin).
