     * his height.
       The Assyrian king, to whom Pharaoh is compared, from his great
       power, extensive dominion, and the protection he afforded,
       resembled the spreading branches, thick shade, and high
       stature of a flourishing cedar on mount Lebanon.  The fruitful
       lands of Assyria; the immense revenues he drew from vast
       multitudes in his extensive territories; his lucrative
       commerce, by the river Tigris, with the countries on the
       Indian ocean; and all the various sources of his wealth and
       prosperity, resembled the rivers and streams which cause the
       trees planted by them to grow and flourish exceedingly; and
       hence the empire and its head were exalted above all the
       kingdoms of the earth.
