Contextual Overview
1"As for you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel 2and say,‘What was your mother?A lioness among lions!She lay down among young lions;She reared her cubs. 3So she brought up one of her cubs;He became a lion,And he learned to tear his prey;He devoured men. 4Then nations heard about him;He was captured in their pit,And they brought him with hooksTo the land of Egypt. 5Then she saw, as she waited,That her hope was lost,So she took another of her cubsAnd made him a young lion. 6And he walked about among the lions;He became a young lion;He learned to tear his prey;He devoured men. 7He knew how to destroy their fortified towersAnd laid waste their cities;And the land was in desolation, as well as its fullnessBecause of the sound of his roaring. 8Then nations put themselves against himAll around from their provinces,And they spread their net over him;He was captured in their pit. 9They put him in a cage with hooksAnd brought him to the king of Babylon;They brought him in hunting netsSo that his voice would be heard no moreOn the mountains of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he went up and down among the lions,.... The kings, as the Targum; kings of neighbouring nations, as Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and sometimes he was subject to the one, and sometimes to the offer: and his going up and down among them may denote his continuance as a king; for whereas his brother reigned but three months, he reigned eleven years:
he became a young lion; an oppressive prince, a cruel and tyrannical king:
and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men; he was notorious for his acts of injustice and arbitrary power; for the detaining the wages of workmen, and for his oppression, violence, and rapine, and shedding of innocent blood, Jeremiah 22:13.
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 19:6. And he went up and down among the lions — He became a perfect heathen, and made Judea as idolatrous as any of the surrounding nations. He reigned eleven years, a monster of iniquity, 2 Kings 23:30, &c.
