What is the significance of being Shasul in a good field?

1.

Rashi: The vine did so needlessly, for it was planted in a good field!

2.

Radak: With Nebuchadnetzar, Tzidkiyah had good, honor and success; he was strong, with authority. Why did he rebel and transgress his Shevu'ah?! Had he not done so, he would have made a branch and bore fruits - his children would have lived.

3.

Malbim: Shesilah is uprooting a tree from its place and planting it elsewhere. He wanted to replant the vine in a good field - Egypt. There is much water there. I.e. he wanted to go from Nebuchadnetzar's Reshus to Pharaoh's Reshus, to make a branch and fruits, to be a strong vine, i.e. an independent kingship, and not be subservient to Nebuchadnetzar.

2)

Why does it say "El Sadeh Tov" and "El Mayim Rabim"?

1.

Radak: El is like Al.

3)

What is "Aderes"?

1.

Rashi: It is strong.
