Contextual Overview
1 "Sing a funeral song for the leaders of Israel. 2 Say: ‘Your mother was like a female lion. She lay down among the young lions. She had many cubs. 3 When she brought up one of her cubs, he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the animals he hunted, and he ate people. 4 The nations heard about him. He was trapped in their pit, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt. 5 "‘The mother lion waited and saw that there was no hope for her cub. So she took another one of her cubs and made him a strong lion. 6 This cub roamed among the lions. He was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the animals he hunted, and he ate people. 7 He tore down their strong places and destroyed their cities. The land and everything in it were terrified by the sound of his roar. 8 Then the nations came against him from areas all around, and they spread their net over him. He was trapped in their pit. 9 Then they put him into a cage with chains and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him into prison so his roar could not be heard again 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.
