According to Ezekiel 19:3, the Bible mentions a horrible story; a woman cooked her son and ate him. When the king heard such a he tore his robes.
The Bible talks about a lioness mother; she brought up one of her cubs, he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey, and he ate people.
This lioness mother is the mother of the princes of Israel or the mother of the leaders of Israel. This lioness mother and her cub are not found in the Quran.
================================

The Message

The phrase “he devoured men” is translated as “he ate people” in the following versions of the Bible:
