Malbim (according to the Nimshal): The Chayos are kings strong like Chayos, which are mightier than birds. They found refuge under [Ashur's] small branches, i.e. wealth and honor of its kingship. Birds are nations that trade, and boats. Also island dwellers that go like birds for trade, they brought their merchandise there and found a nest for it. "Many Goyim dwelled (took refuge) in its shade."
