The Egyptians heard and considered what he did, they had intelligence of Jehoahaz's 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. He was taken in their pit; 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. They brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt; 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, Jeremiah 22:10-12, with 2 Kings 23:34.
