Gill's Exposition of the Entire 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.

Geneva Study Bible

Wesley's Notes

19:6 He - Jehoiachim. Went up - He continued eleven years on the throne; whereas Jehoahaz was taken as soon as he first ventured out. The lions - Heathen kings, with whom he entered into leagues. He became - Fierce, ravenous, unsatiable.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6. went up and down among the lions-imitated the recklessness and tyranny of the surrounding kings (Jer 22:13-17).

catch . prey-to do evil, gratifying his lusts by oppression (2Ki 23:37).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

19:1-9 Ezekiel is to compare the kingdom of Judah to a lioness. He must compare the kings of Judah to a lion's whelps; they were cruel and oppressive to their own subjects. The righteousness of God is to be acknowledged, when those who have terrified and enslaved others, are themselves terrified and enslaved. When professors of religion form connexions with ungodly persons, their children usually grow up following after the maxims and fashions of a wicked world. Advancement to authority discovers the ambition and selfishness of men's hearts; and those who spend their lives in mischief, generally end them by violence.


2 Kings 24:9 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father had done.
2 Chronicles 36:9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD.
Ezekiel 19:5 "'When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.
Ezekiel 19:7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring.
