Ezequiel 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 17:6

And it grew
King Zedekiah reigned and prospered, and the kingdom flourished under him: and became a spreading vine of low stature;
not so flourishing as it had been heretofore, in former reigns; it did not rise up to a cedar, as it had been, but was like a vine, which, though flourishing, does not rise up high, but runs upon the ground, and is dependent on something else; so the king and kingdom of Judah, though in tolerable circumstances, yet were humble and dependent on the king of Babylon: whose branches turned towards him;
the eagle, Nebuchadnezzar, to whom the people of the Jews were tributary: and the roots thereof were under him;
they were rooted and settled in their own land, yet under the power, and at the dispose, of the Babylonish monarch: so it became a vine;
a flourishing kingdom in some measure, though attended with some degree of weakness and dependence as a vine: and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs;
increased in people and in riches; particularly the king had many children, so that there was a prospect of a succession, and of a more flourishing estate, and a continuance of it, ( Jeremiah 52:10 ) .

Ezequiel 17:6 In-Context

4 Arranc贸 el principal de sus renuevos, y lo llev贸 a la tierra de mercaderes, y lo puso en la ciudad de los negociantes.
5 Tom贸 tambi茅n de la simiente de la tierra, y la puso en un campo bueno para sembrar, la plant贸 junto a grandes aguas, la puso como un sauce.
6 Y reverdeci贸, y se hizo una vid de mucha rama, baja de estatura, que sus ramas la miraban, y sus ra铆ces estaban debajo de ella; as铆 que se hizo una vid, y arroj贸 sarmientos, y ech贸 mugrones.
7 Y fue otra gran 谩guila, de grandes alas y de muchas plumas; y he aqu铆 que esta vid junt贸 cerca de ella sus ra铆ces, y extendi贸 hacia ella sus ramas, para ser regada por ella por los surcos de su plant铆o.
8 En un buen campo, junto a muchas aguas fue plantada, para que hiciese ramas y llevase fruto, y para que fuese vid robusta.
