Contextual Overview

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus was he fair in his greatness,.... Amiable, lovely, delightful to look upon in the greatness of his majesty, in his royal glory and dignity:
in the length of his branches; in the extent of his empire, and the provinces of it:
for his root was by great waters; his kingdom was well established, firmly rooted among a multitude of people; from whom he had a large revenue to support his throne and government, and the dignity of it; by tribute, taxes, customs, and presents; and through the large trade and traffic of his subjects in different parts, from whence he received great profit and advantage. The Targum is,
"and he became victorious by his auxiliaries, by the multitude of his mighty ones, so that his terror was upon many people.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Fifth prophecy against Egypt: a warning to Pharaoh from the fate of the Assyrians. The Assyrian empire, after having been supreme in Asia for four centuries, had been overthrown by the united forces of the Babylonians and Medes, in the year of the battle of Carchemish (605 b.c.), which had broken the power of Egypt. This gives force to the warning to Egypt from Assyria’s fall.
Ezekiel 31:4
His plants - Rather, her plantation. The water represents the riches and might which flowed into Assyria.
Ezekiel 31:5
When be shot forth - Or, when the deep water sent forth its streams.
Ezekiel 31:8
Garden of God - Paradise.
