These uncovered her nakedness means the Assyrians stripped Oholah naked. This was a way of punishing adulterers (see the comments on 16.37). Good News Translation is clear with “They stripped her naked.”

They seized her sons and her daughters refers to the exile of the people of the northern kingdom of Israel. This clause may be rendered “they captured her sons and daughters.”

And her they slew with the sword refers to the final destruction of Samaria and the rest of the northern kingdom. Good News Translation renders this clause well with “and then killed her with a sword.”

And she became a byword among women, when judgment had been executed upon her means women “talked about” (Contemporary English Version) Oholah’s fate as a “warning” (Moffatt) to others not to be wicked like her. For byword see 14.8 and 16.56, where different Hebrew words are used. When judgment had been executed upon her tells why women began to talk about Oholah—they spoke about the way she was punished for her sinful behavior. A good model for this sentence is “Women everywhere began talking about how she had been punished” (New Century Version) or “Women everywhere gossiped about her fate” (Good News Translation).
