Haydock's commentary
Lions: Joakim. (Challoner)
He reigned eleven years; but was such a monster, that the prophet does not speak of him or bewail his fate, 4 Kings xxiii. 34., and Jeremias xxii. 19. His words are applicable to Jechonias alone; who was cruel, and banished to Babylon, ver. 8. (Calmet)
