Ezekiel 19 talks about the lamentation of the prince of Israel and his mother, who represent the people of Judah and his leaders who failed to protect and lead the country. Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in Ezekiel 19:
2 Kings 24:14: "He brought all Jerusalem to exile, all the leaders and all brave men, ten thousand prisoners, as well as all blacksmiths and locksmiths. No one stayed except the poorest population in the country." This verse describes the conquest of Jerusalem by the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, and the exile of the brave leaders and men of Judah, including the prince mourned in Ezekiel 19.

Jeremiah 22:18-19: "Therefore, thus saith the Lord about Jehokim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: there will be no tears for him, saying, 'Ah, my brother!" Or: 'Ah, my sister!' There will be no weeping for him, saying, 'Ah, sir!' Or, 'Ah, your majesty!'. It will be buried as a donkey, dragged and thrown out of the gates of Jerusalem. " This verse talks about the death of King Jehokim of Judah and how he would not receive an honorable burial.
Jeremiah 13:18: "Tell the King and the Mother Queen, 'Get out of his thrones, for the crown of his glory fell from his heads." This verse talks about the fall of Judah's monarchy and the loss of power of the leaders.
Ezekiel 21:25-27: "And you, ockle and wicked prince of Israel, whose day came in the time of the final punishment, thus says the Lord God: Take the turban and the crown; nothing will be as it was before. What is it bass will be high and what is high will be demoted. " This verse talks about the fall of the Prince of Israel and how he would lose his position of power.
