THE MESSAGE
When the lioness saw she was luckless, that her hope for that cub was gone, She took her other cub and made him a strong young lion. He prowled with the lions, a robust young lion. He learned to hunt. He ate men. He rampaged through their defenses, left their cities in ruins. The country and everyone in it was terrorized by the roars of the lion. The nations got together to hunt him. Everyone joined the hunt. They set out their traps and caught him. They put a wooden collar on him and took him to the king of Babylon. No more would that voice be heard disturbing the peace in the mountains of Israel!

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
Now when she saw,.... That is, his mother, as the Syriac version expresses it; not his natural mother; as the mother of Sisera looked out and waited for him; but the congregation of Israel, as Jarchi interprets it, the body of the Jewish people:
that she had waited; for the return of Jehoahaz out of Egypt, which was expected for some time: or, "that she was become sick"; or "weak" w, and feeble, and brought to a low estate by his captivity, and by the tax the king of Egypt put upon her:
[and] her hope was lost; of his return to her any more, and so of being eased of the tribute imposed, and of being restored by him to liberty and glory; for the Lord had declared that he should return no more to his native country, but die in the place where he was carried captive, Jeremiah 22:10;
then she took another of her whelps; or sons, as the Targum:
[and] made him a young lion: a king, as the same Targum paraphrases it; that is, Jehoiakim, the brother of Jehoahaz, who before was called Eliakim, but his name was changed by Pharaohnecho; and though he is said to make him king, yet it was by the consent of the people of the Jews.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Chains - See the marginal rendering to Ezekiel 19:9 and Isaiah 27:9, note.
Ezekiel 19:5
Another - Jehoiachin who soon showed himself no less unworthy than Jehoahaz. The “waiting” of the people was during the absence of their rightful lord Jehoahaz, a captive in Egypt while Jehoiakim, whom they deemed an usurper, was on the throne. It was not until Jehoiachin succeeded, that they seemed to themselves to have a monarch of their own 2 Kings 24:6.
Ezekiel 19:7
Their desolate palaces - Rather, his palaces, built upon the ground, from where he had ejected the former owners.
Ezekiel 19:8
The nations - are here the Chaldaeans: see the marginal references.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 19:5. When she saw that she had waited — Being very weak, the Jews found that they could not resist with any hope of success; so the king of Egypt was permitted to do as he pleased.
She took another of her whelps — Jehoiakim.
And made him a young lion. — King of Judea.
