The verse describes generally the apparent strength of the kingly line of David. The word for thick branches, which occurs again in Ezekiel 31:3, Ezekiel 31:10, Ezekiel 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).
