The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 17:11-24

The Double Application of the Parable v. 11. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 12. Say now to the rebellious house, literally, "the house of rebelliousness," the children of Israel, to whom this parable had been told as a warning, Know ye not what these things mean? Were they intellectually as well as morally stupid? Tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, 2 Kings 24:11 ff. ; Jeremiah 24:1; Jeremiah 29:2, and hath taken the king thereof, namely,... read more

6. The Riddle about the Royal House of David (Ezekiel 17:0.)1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto [for] the house of Israel. 3And say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, The great eagle, with great wings, with long wing-feathers, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and 4took the topmost branch [leafy crown] of the cedar. The topmost of its shoots he cropt off, and brought it to the land of Canaan; in a city... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 17:1-24

Commanded by Jehovah, the prophet then put forth a riddle. A great eagle came on Lebanon, and took off the top of the cedar, planting the young twigs in a land of traffic, a city of merchants. Moreover, he carried away the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil, where it became a spreading vine. There was also another great eagle toward which the vine bent its roots, that he might water it. For this act of treachery the vine was denounced by command of Jehovah. Its judgment was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 17:11-12

The Significance of the Parable. ‘Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me saying, “Say now to the rebellious house, Do you know what these things mean? Tell them, behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its princes and brought them to him in Babylon.” Once more the voluntarily dumb prophet speaks, for he has a word from Yahweh. And once again the exiles are called ‘the rebellious house’ (twelve times in all - compare Ezekiel 2:5-6; Ezekiel 2:8; Ezekiel 3:9; Ezekiel... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 17:1-24

Ezekiel 17. The Perfidious King.— Jerusalem, as we have seen, is to be punished for her guilty past and her perfidious people ( Ezekiel 17:16), but no less for her guilty present and her perfidious king. This truth is driven home in another allegory, here called a “ riddle” and “ parable,” set forth in Ezekiel 17:1-2 Samuel : and expounded in Ezekiel 17:11-Ecclesiastes :; and thus for the second time ( Ezekiel 12:1-Nehemiah :) Ezekiel shatters the illusion of the stability of the king and the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 17:11-21

THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PARABLE (Ezekiel 17:11-21)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—From Ezekiel 17:12-17 we have the formal interpretation of the parable. In Ezekiel 17:19-21, the threat contained in the parable is confirmed and still further expanded.Ezekiel 17:12. “Behold the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof.” The account of the carrying away of the king, i.e., Jehoiachin, and his princes into Babylon is related in 2 Kings 24:11, etc.; Jeremiah 24:1; Jeremiah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 17:1-24

Chapter 17Now in chapter 17 he speaks a parable of a great eagle. And this is where some of these harebrained people begin to spiritualize and try to read the United States into prophecy. Because there is an eagle on the top of the flag and thus, because he uses an eagle in a parable, that must refer to the United States, you know. And they start twisting and spiritualizing to try to make this fit the United States. But, if you'll just read the beginning, there's no way that you can twist... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 17:1-24

Ezekiel 17:2-3 . Put forth a riddle. A parable, or ingenious allegory, that the acumen of the composition may attract attention from the rulers of Judah. This parable is likewise ingeniously explained by sacred criticism. The eagle is the king of Babylon, who is so called, because he was master of other kings, as much as the eagle is king of birds. His greatness marks the extent of his dominions; and the length of his wings, the rapidity of his conquests. Full of feathers, in... read more
