Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said: Run for your lives, people of Benjamin. Get out of Jerusalem. Sound a trumpet in Tekoa and light a signal fire in Beth-Haccherem. Soon you will be struck by disaster from the north. 2 Jerusalem is a lovely pasture, but shepherds will surround it and divide it up, 3 then let their flocks eat all the grass. 4 Kings will tell their troops, "If we reach Jerusalem in the morning, we'll attack at noon. But if we arrive later, 5 we'll attack after dark and destroy its fortresses." 6 I am the Lord All-Powerful, and I will command these armies to chop down trees and build a ramp up to the walls of Jerusalem. People of Jerusalem, I must punish you for your injustice. 7 Evil pours from your city like water from a spring. Sounds of violent crimes echo within your walls; victims are everywhere, wounded and dying. 8 Listen to me, you people of Jerusalem and Judah. I will abandon you, and your land will become an empty desert.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Arise, and let us go up by night,.... Since they could not take the city at noon, and by day, as they expected, they propose to attempt it by night; they would lose no time, but proceed on, day and night, until they had accomplished their end; this shows how much they were resolved upon it, and that nothing could discourage from it; and that they were sure of carrying their point: and therefore it follows,
and let us destroy her palaces; the tower and strong hold of Zion, the temple of Jerusalem, the king's palace, the houses of the high priest, judges, counsellors, and other civil magistrates, as well as the cottages of the meaner sort of people; for the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "her houses"; which, notwithstanding her strong walls, were not secure from the enemy.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Up! and we will make the assault “by night!”
And destroy “her palaces.”
The generals delay the assault until the next morning. The soldiers consider themselves aggrieved at this, and clamour for a night attack.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 6:5. Arise, and let us go by night — Since we have lost the day, let us not lose the night; but, taking advantage of the darkness, let us make a powerful assault while they are under the impression of terror.
