Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 17:11-12
Ezekiel was now to tell his rebellious hearers what this story represented. This interpretation is a typical example of a prophetic judgment speech to an individual, many of which appear in the prophetical books of the Old Testament. It contains a summons to listen (Ezekiel 17:11-12 a), charges (Ezekiel 17:12-18), and assurance of judgment (Ezekiel 17:19-21). [Note: See Claus Westermann, Basic Forms of Prophetic Speech, pp. 169-94.] The first eagle stood for the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 17:1-24
Zedekiah’s Perfidy and its PunishmentZedekiah had been placed on the throne of Judah as a vassal of Babylon, but was led by his nobles to intrigue with Egypt and to throw off the Babylonian yoke. The revolt actually took place in 588 b.c., but it had been contemplated much earlier: see Jeremiah 27:1-11, where ’Zedekiah’ should be read for ’Jehoiakim’ in Jeremiah 27:1. Jeremiah 27:15 of this chapter refers to an embassy to Egypt, of which Ezekiel had heard in BabyIonia. The prophet exposes this... read more

Ezekiel 17:24 Light is good, and a pleasant thing it is to behold the sun. Yet far dearer than outward peace, far sweeter than inward consolation, is that, the ever-during stay, the solace of the Christian's heart, the imperishable root of which all else that gladdens it is but the bloom and odour; the dry tree that shall flourish when every green tree of delight and of desire fails. It is to the Cross that the heart must turn for that which will reconcile it to all conflicts, all privations.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 17:1-24
THE END OF THE MONARCHYEzekiel 12:1-15; Ezekiel 17:1-24; Ezekiel 19:1-14IN spite of the interest excited by Ezekiel’s prophetic appearances, the exiles still received his prediction of the fall of Jerusalem with the most stolid incredulity. It proved to be an impossible task to disabuse their minds of the pre-possessions which made such an event absolutely incredible. True to their character as a disobedient house, they had "eyes to see, and saw not; and ears to hear, but heard not". {Ezekiel... read more

Ezekiel 17:1-24 . The great eagle mentioned first is Nebuchadnezzar. (See Jeremiah 48:40 ; Jeremiah 49:22 ). He came to Lebanon and took the highest branch of the cedar, the symbol of the house of David, which was conquered by this eagle. Nebuchadnezzar made the youngest son of Josiah king over Judah and called him Zedekiah. This action is described in verse 5. The other great eagle is Hophra, the king of Egypt. To him Zedekiah turned for help. The interpretation and application of this parable... read more
