Contextual Overview
1 Thou. therefore take up a dirge, for the prince of Israel; 2 and thou shalt say - How was thy mother a lioness, Between lions, she lay down,- I n the midst of young lions, She nourished her whelps; 3 And she reared up one of her whelps - A young lion, he became, And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured. 4 Then nations heard of him. In their pit, was he caught, - So they brought him with hooks. Into the land of Egypt. 5 And she saw she had waited Lost was her hope, Then took she another of her whelps. A young lion, she made him. 6 Yea he went to and fro amidst lions A young lion, he became,- And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured; 7 And he injured b his widows, And their cities, laid waste,- And deserted was the land and its fulness, At the noise of his roaring. 8 Then set upon him the nations round about. From the provinces,- And spread over him their net In their pit, was he caught; 9 And they put him in a cage with hooks, And brought him to Babylon's king, - They brought him into strong-holds, That his noise might be heard no more Among the mountains of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the nations set against him,.... Or, "gave against him" y; that is, their voice, as Kimchi; they called to one another, to gather together against him; they gave their counsel against him; they, joined together, agreed, and combined against him, and disposed their armies, and set them in array against him:
on every side from the provinces; Nebuchadnezzar and his auxiliaries, which consisted of the people of the provinces all around, who were brought together, and placed round about Jerusalem, at the siege of it; particularly the bands of the Chaldeans, Syrians, Moabites, and Ammonites, 2 Kings 24:1;
and spread their net over him; which may be expressive both of the policy, crafty and secret contrivances and designs, of Jehoiakim's enemies; and of their external force and hostile power against him:
he was taken in their pit; which they dug for him, or by the means which they contrived for his ruin, and which they put in execution and effected: the metaphor of a lion is carried on, and the manner of taking one is alluded to, which is commonly in pits, as Pliny z says; and the Arabs now dig a pit where lions are observed to enter, and covering it over slightly with reeds, of small branches of trees, they frequently decoy and catch them a.

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 19:8. The nations set against him — The Chaldeans, Syrians, Moabites, and Ammonites, and the king of Babylon - king of many nations.
He was taken — The city was taken by Nebuchadnezzar; and Jehoiakim was taken prisoner, and sent in chains to Babylon.
