Contextual Overview
1 "Run for your lives, people of Benjamin! Run away from Jerusalem! Blow the war trumpet in the town of Tekoa! Raise the warning flag over the town of Beth Hakkerem! Disaster is coming from the north; terrible destruction is coming to you. 2 Jerusalem, I will destroy you, you who are fragile and gentle. 3 Shepherds with their flocks will come against Jerusalem. They will set up their tents all around her, each shepherd taking care of his own section." 4 They say, "Get ready to fight against Jerusalem! Get up! We will attack at noon! But it is already getting late; the evening shadows are growing long. 5 So get up! We will attack at night. We will destroy the strong towers of Jerusalem!" 6 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: "Cut down the trees around Jerusalem, and build an attack ramp to the top of its walls. This city must be punished. Inside it is nothing but slavery. 7 Jerusalem pours out her evil as a well pours out its water. The sounds of violence and destruction are heard within her. I can see the sickness and hurts of Jerusalem. 8 Listen to this warning, Jerusalem, or I will turn my back on you and make your land an empty desert where no one can live."

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.
