Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 17:7

"There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it." — Ezekiel 17:7 (ASV)

Another great eagle - This is the king of Egypt, mighty indeed but not like the first.

By the furrows of her plantation - From the beds, where it was planted to bring forth fruit for another, it shot forth its roots to him so that he might water it. Zedekiah was courting the favor of Egypt while he owed his very position to the bounty of Assyria.
