Wesley's Notes

19:3 Brought up - Advanced, caused him to take the throne after the slaughter of Josiah. One - Jehoahaz the second son of Josiah. Became - Soon shewed his fierce, cruel, and bloody disposition.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

3. young lion-Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, carried captive from Riblah to Egypt by Pharaoh-necho (2Ki 23:33).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:1-9 Ezekiel is to compare the kingdom of Judah to a lioness. He must compare the kings of Judah to a lion's whelps; they were cruel and oppressive to their own subjects. The righteousness of God is to be acknowledged, when those who have terrified and enslaved others, are themselves terrified and enslaved. When professors of religion form connexions with ungodly persons, their children usually grow up following after the maxims and fashions of a wicked world. Advancement to authority discovers the ambition and selfishness of men's hearts; and those who spend their lives in mischief, generally end them by violence.


Ezekiel 19:2 and say, 'What was your mother? A lioness among lions! She lay down among young lions, She reared her cubs.
Ezekiel 19:4 'Then nations heard about him; He was captured in their pit, And they brought him with hooks To the land of Egypt. (NASB ©1995)
