Ezekiel 19:2

Context
19:2 and say:

“‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions!

She lay among young lions; 1  she reared her cubs.

1 sn Lions probably refer to Judahite royalty and/or nobility. The lioness appears to symbolize the Davidic dynasty, though some see the referent as Hamutal, the wife of Josiah and mother of Jehoahaz and Zedekiah. Gen 49:9 seems to be the background for Judah being compared to lions.
