“She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.”
The vine's expansion continues: "It sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River." The reference to sea and river (understood as the Euphrates) suggests that the vine's dominion extended from the Mediterranean to Mesopotamia—the maximal geographical extent of Israel/Davidic kingdom. This recalls the extent of Solomon's dominion.
