This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eze 17:1-24. Parable of the two great eagles, and the cropping of the cedar of Lebanon. Judah is to be judged for revolting from Babylon, which had set up Zedekiah instead of Jehoiachin, to Egypt; God himself, as the rival of the Babylonian king, is to plant the gospel cedar of Messiah.
The date of the prophecy is between the sixth month of Zedekiah’s sixth year of reign and the fifth month of the seventh year after the carrying away of Jehoiachin, that is, five years before the destruction of Jerusalem [Henderson].
