And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
They put him in ward in chains - (2 Chronicles 36:6; Jeremiah 22:18) margin, 'hooks;' perhaps referring to the hook often passed through the nose of beasts; so, too, through that of captives, as seen in the Assyrian sculptures (see note, Ezekiel 19:4).
That his voice - i:e., his roaring (Ezekiel 19:7).
Should no more be heard upon the mountains - carrying on the metaphor of the lion, whose roaring on the mountains frightens all the other beasts. The insolence of the prince, not at all abated though his kingdom was impaired, was now to cease.
