Daniel 4:20-21

The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

The tree that thou sawest ... Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much ... under which the beasts ... dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls ... had their habitation. The tree is the king; the branches, the princes; the leaves, the soldiers; the fruits, the revenues; the shadow, the protection afforded to dependent states.
