parable
Ezekiel 17:2
17:2 parable. The first eagle in this parable seems to represent Nebuchadnezzar (Ezekiel 17:3,12); the second is Pharaoh (Ezekiel 13:7,15). The vine is Judah and King Zedekiah (Ezekiel 13:6,14), vacillating between Babylon and Egypt, although God had told him to yield to Nebuchadnezzar.
