Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said to me, "You must sing this sad song about the leaders of Israel: 2 "‘Your mother is like a female lion, lying there with the male lions. She went to lie down with the young male lions and had many babies. 3 One of her cubs gets up. He has grown to be a strong young lion. He has learned to catch his food. He killed and ate a man. 4 "‘The people heard him roar, and they caught him in their trap. They put hooks in his mouth and carried the young lion to Egypt. 5 "‘The mother lion had hoped that cub would become the leader, but now she has lost all hope. So she took another of her cubs and trained him to be a lion. 6 He hunted with the adult lions and became a strong young lion. He learned to catch his food. He killed and ate a man. 7 He attacked the palaces and destroyed the cities. Everyone in that country was too afraid to speak when hearing his growl. 8 Then the people who lived around him set a trap for him, and they caught him in their trap. 9 They put hooks on him and locked him up. They had him in their trap, so they took him to the king of Babylon. And now, you cannot hear his roar on the mountains of Israel.

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.
