Ezechiele 19:9

9 Poi lo misero incatenato in una gabbia, e lo condussero al re di Babilonia; e lo misero in certe fortezze, acciocchè la sua voce non si udisse più ne’ monti d’Israele.

Ezechiele 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 19:9

And they put him in ward in chains
Or "in an enclosure"; or "in a collar with hooks" ^F2; put a collar of iron, as is said, about his neck, which had hooks in it, and to those hooks chains were put, in which he was led a prisoner; and it is certain that he was bound in fetters, in order to be carried to Babylon though it is thought he never reached thither, but died by the way ( 2 Chronicles 36:6 ) ; and brought him to the king of Babylon;
to Nebuchadnezzar, who came up against him with his army of many nations, he having rebelled against him; and, being taken by his soldiers, was brought to him in chains, wherever he was, whether without the gates of Jerusalem, or at any other place; for it is not certain where he was: however, they brought him into holes;
places of confinement, one after another, in his way to Babylon; where, it seems, before he came thither, he died, and was cast out on a dunghill, and had no burial, as Jeremiah foretold, ( Ezekiel 22:18 Ezekiel 22:19 ) ; that his voice should no more be heard in the mountains of Israel;
in the kingdom of Israel, to the terror of its inhabitants, threatening them with death, if they did not answer his exorbitant demands; nor was it ever heard any more: the allusion still is to a lion traversing the mountains, and roaring after its prey, to the terror of other creatures.

Ezechiele 19:9 In-Context

7 Ed ebbe sol cura de’ suoi palazzi, e desertò le lor città; e il paese, e tutto ciò che è in esso fu desolato per la voce del suo ruggire.

8 E le nazioni delle provincie d’ogn’intorno gli diedero addosso, e tesero contro a lui la lor rete, ed egli fu preso nella lor fossa.

9 Poi lo misero incatenato in una gabbia, e lo condussero al re di Babilonia; e lo misero in certe fortezze, acciocchè la sua voce non si udisse più ne’ monti d’Israele.

10 La madre tua, quando tu ti fosti taciuto, divenne come una vite piantata presso alle acque; divenne fruttifera, e fronzuta, per la copia dell’acqua.

11 Ed ebbe delle verghe forti, da scettri di signori; e divenne alta di ceppo, sopra gli alberi folti, fra i quali ella era, e fu ragguardevole per la sua altezza, per l’abbondanza de’ suoi tralci.
