“Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.”
But nations set against him from the surrounding countries, spread their net over him, and take him in their pit, capturing him and bringing him before the king of Babylon. The second cub's fate mirrors the first: despite his developed power and demonstrated dominion, he too falls to greater imperial force. His capture represents Jehoiakim's forced submission to Babylon and subsequent death or deportation.
