Clarke's Ezekiel 19:5 Bible Commentary
When she saw that she had waited - Being very weak, the Jews found that they could not resist with any hope of success; so the king of Egypt was permitted to do as he pleased.
She took another of her whelps - Jehoiakim.
And made him a young lion - King of Judea.
Barnes's Ezekiel 19:5 Bible Commentary
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.
Wesley's Ezekiel 19:5 Bible Commentary
19:5 Made him - King, and infused the lion - like maxims into him.
