the willows: Leviticus 23:40, Isaiah 15:7, Ezekiel 17:5

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow,.... Under which it lies, as in Job 40:21; which is thought not so well to agree with the elephant, since, according to Aelianus h and other writers, it lies not down, at least but rarely, but sleeps standing; it being very troublesome to it to lie down and rise up again; and besides it is represented by some authors i as higher than the trees, and therefore this is supposed to agree better with the river horse; especially since it follows,

the willows of the brook compass him about; or the willows of the Nile, as some choose to render it; which would put it out of all doubt that the river horse is intended, if it could be established, it being an inhabitant of that river; and yet the above writer k speaks of elephants, when grown old, seeking large thick and shady woods to take up their abode in.

h Ibid. (Aelian. de Animal.) c. 31. i Ibid. l. 7. c. 6. k Ibid. c. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The shady trees - Probably the “lote-trees;” see the note at Job 40:21. The same word is used here.

The willow-trees of the brook - Of the “stream,” or “rivulet.” The Hebrew word (נחל nachal) means rather “a wady;” a gorge or gulley, which is swollen with torrents in the winter, but which is frequently dry in summer; see the notes at Job 6:15. Willows grew commonly on the banks of rivers. They could not be cultivated in the desert; Isaiah 15:7.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 40:22. The willows of the brook compass him — This would agree well enough with the hippopotamus.
