Contextual Overview
11 The Babylonian army had left because the Egyptian army was on its way to help us. 12 So I decided to leave Jerusalem and go to the territory of the Benjamin tribe to claim my share of my family's land. 13 I was leaving Jerusalem through Benjamin Gate, when I was stopped by Irijah, the officer in charge of the soldiers at the gate. He said, "Jeremiah, you're under arrest for trying to join the Babylonians." 14 "I'm not trying to join them!" I answered. But Irijah wouldn't listen, and he took me to the king's officials. 15They were angry and ordered the soldiers to beat me. Then I was taken to the house that belonged to Jonathan, one of the king's officials. It had been turned into a prison, and I was kept in a basement room. After I had spent a long time there, 17 King Zedekiah secretly had me brought to his palace, where he asked, "Is there any message for us from the Lord ?" "Yes, there is, Your Majesty," I replied. "The Lord is going to let the king of Babylonia capture you." 18 Then I continued, "Your Majesty, why have you put me in prison? Have I committed a crime against you or your officials or the nation? 19 Have you locked up the prophets who lied to you and said that the king of Babylonia would never attack Jerusalem? 20 Please, don't send me back to that prison at Jonathan's house. If you do, I will die." 21 King Zedekiah had me taken to the prison cells in the courtyard of the palace guards. He told the soldiers to give me a loaf of bread from one of the bakeries every day until the city ran out of grain.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon,.... Or, "into the house of the pit" l; a dungeon, like a pit or ditch, dark, dirty, or dismal:
and into the cabins; or "cells" m; into a place more inward than the cells, as the Targum; into the innermost and worst part in all the prison, where a man could not well lie, sit, nor stand:
and Jeremiah had remained there many days; in this very uncomfortable condition; very probably till the Chaldean army returned to Jerusalem, as he foretold it should.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Dungeon - literally, house of a cistern or pit, and evidently underground. In this cistern-like excavation were several cells or arched vaults, in one of which with little light and less ventilation Jeremiah remained a long time.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 37:16. Entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins — The dungeon was probably a deep pit; and the cabins or cells, niches in the sides, where different malefactors were confined. See Blayney.
