“And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.”
One of her cubs grows up to become a strong young lion who learns to tear the prey and devours men, becoming notable among the lions. This cub represents the first Judean king of the siege period, likely Jehoahaz, who displays the predatory strength characteristic of the royal line. The development of the cub into a powerful lion suggests the natural progression from princely potential to royal actualization.
