Ezekiel19:4
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chaines unto the land of Egypt.
The Egyptians heard and considered what he did, they had intelligence of Iehoahaz rigours against them and all that abetted their interest, this made them (as Neighbours do when a Lion is reported to waste their flocks) gather together against him.
Or in their net, as hunters in those parts dig pits, and spread nets, into which they drive the hunted Lion, or Bear. So here or else thus. This Lion was taken at last though he did some mischief first to the Egyptians, so the word may bear.
The story of it you have, 2 Kings 23.33. these barbarous Conquerors used him as men use a Lion, put and keep him in chains, carried him captive into Egypt, where he died, Ier. 22.10, 11, 12. with 2 Kings 23.34.
