Contextual Overview
1 Thus says the Lord : "Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word, 2 and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord , O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates. 3 Thus says the Lord : Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you will indeed obey this word, then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants and their people. 5 But if you will not obey these words, I swear by myself, declares the Lord , that this house shall become a desolation. 6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah: "‘You are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, yet surely I will make you a desert, an uninhabited city. 7 I will prepare destroyers against you, each with his weapons, and they shall cut down your choicest cedars and cast them into the fire. 8 "‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, "Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?" 9 And they will answer, "Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them."'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord, go down to the house of the king of Judah,.... To the palace of Jehoiakim, who was now the reigning king; the prophet is bid to go down to it, because, as Kimchi thinks, he was now upon the mountain of the house, or in the temple, from whence to the king's house there was a descent:
and speak there this word; of prophecy, relating to the several kings hereafter mentioned. This prophecy was delivered some years before that in the preceding chapter, though it stands here. It is indeed by some thought to be repeated here on occasion of what is before said, and for the confirmation of it, putting in mind of what he had prophesied in former times: and they render the words, with which it begins, "thus hath the Lord said" x; so he said to me years ago; which agrees with what is now delivered.
x ×× ××ר "haec dixit", Grotius; "sic dixit", Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Go down - i. e., from the temple to the kingâs house. Compare 2 Chronicles 23:20.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXII
This section of prophecy, extending to the end of the eighth
verse of the next chapter, is addressed to the king of Judah
and his people. It enjoins on them the practice of justice and
equity, as they would hope to prosper, 14;
but threatens them, in case of disobedience, with utter
destruction, 5-9.
The captivity of Shallum, the son of Josiah, is declared to be
irreversible, 10-12;
and the miserable and unlamented end of Jeconiah,
contemptuously called Coniah, is foretold, 13-19.
His family is threatened with the like captivity, and his seed
declared to be for ever excluded from the throne, 20-30.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXII
Verse Jeremiah 22:1. Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word — This is supposed by Dahler to have been published in the first year of the reign of Zedekiah.
