Ezek. 19:1–14 Ezekiel presents two further political allegories (vv. 1–9 and vv. 10–14). The whole is presented as a lamentation (v. 1), a distinctive form of Hebrew poetry. Both allegories refer to a mother (vv. 2, 10). One cannot be certain whether a literal queen mother is in view (then most likely Hamutal; 2 Kings 23:31; 24:18), or whether this is a symbolic reference to the nation of Judah (compare Gen. 49:9 and “mother” of Babylon as a nation, Jer. 50:12). The first cub (Ezek. 19:3–4) applies most closely to Jehoahaz, who was taken captive to Egypt by Pharaoh Neco (2 Kings 23:31–35). The second cub’s identity in Ezek. 19:5–9 is much more problematic. Jehoiachin is most likely (2 Kings 24:12).
Ezek. 19:10–14 For details, see the parable of the eagles and the vine in ch. 17. Whereas the lioness-and-cubs story fixed attention on the fate of individuals, the vine-and-stems story refers to the whole dynasty. Ezekiel 19:12b, 14 singles out one particular strong stem, normally translated “staff.” Here it refers to a living branch. The reference is probably to Zedekiah, the last Davidic king. His attempts at power politics ended in disaster.
