A lion is the symbol of Judah. There were 2 lions beside the throne of Solomon, a descendant of Judah, while 12 lions can be a symbol of the 12 tribes of Israel.
*"And Jacob called his sons and said, 'Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:'" (Gen 49:1).
*"Judah is a lion's whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him?" (Gen 49:9).
*lions in Solomon temple
"The throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests. Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom" (2Ch 9:18-19).
On the other hand, Moses compared Joseph and his sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, to unicorns (in Septuagint, Vulgate, and King James).
*"And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death" (Deu 33:1, KJV).
*"And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh" (Deu 33:13-17, KJV).

In addition to that, these contexts are associated with the prophecy of Ezekiel.
*"'And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, "Will you not show us what you mean by these?" say to them, "Thus says the Lord God: 'Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand. And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.'" Then say to them, "Thus says the Lord God: 'Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again' "'" (Eze 37:18-22).
