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.
