Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she brought up one of her whelps,.... Or sons, as the Targum: or, "made him to ascend" t, as the word signifies; to mount the throne; this was Jehoahaz, whom the people of the land took and anointed him, and made him king in the stead of Josiah his father,
2 Kings 23:30;
it become a young lion; that is, a king, as the same Targum explains it, and a tyrannical and arbitrary one:
and it learned to catch the prey; being instructed by evil counsellors, he soon learned to oppress his subjects, to get their substance from them, and do many evil things, as he is said to do, 2 Kings 23:32;
it devoured men; or a man, Adam, the people of Israel, so called,
Ezekiel 34:31; as the Jews frequently observe; it ate up and destroyed their liberties, privileges, and property.
t ותעל "et ascendere fecit", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare the marginal reference. The short reign of Jehoahaz was marked by violence and idolatry, and was closed by Pharaoh-Necho’s carrying him captive into Egypt.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 19:3. She brought up one of her whelps — Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, whose father was conquered and slain by Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt.
It learned to catch the prey — His reign was a reign of oppression and cruelty. He made his subjects his prey, and devoured their substance.
