The nations—Egypt, in the case of Jehoahaz, who probably provoked Pharaoh by trying to avenge the death of his father by assailing the bordering cities of Egypt (II Kings 23:29-30).
in their pit—image from the pitfalls used for catching wild beasts (Jeremiah 22:11-12).
chains—or hooks, which were fastened in the noses of wild beasts (see on Ezekiel 19:9).
