King James Translators' Notes

their desolate...: or, their widows

the fulness...: or, all it containeth

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. knew . desolate palaces-that is, claimed as his own their palaces, which he then proceeded to "desolate." The Hebrew, literally "widows"; hence widowed palaces (Isa 13:22). Vatablus (whom Fairbairn follows) explains it, "He knew (carnally) the widows of those whom he devoured" (Eze 19:6). But thus the metaphor and the literal reality would be blended: the lion being represented as knowing widows. The reality, however, often elsewhere thus breaks through the veil.

fulness thereof-all that it contained; its inhabitants.

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 19:6 And he walked about among the lions; He became a young lion, He learned to tear his prey; He devoured men.
Ezekiel 19:8 Then nations set against him On every side from their provinces, And they spread their net over him; He was captured in their pit. (NASB ©1995)
