1 Thus says the LORD: "Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and there speak this word, 2 and say, "Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, you who sit on the throne of David, you and your servants and your people who enter these gates! 3 Thus says the LORD: "Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you indeed do this thing, then shall enter the gates of this house, riding on horses and in chariots, accompanied by servants and people, kings who sit on the throne of David. 5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by Myself," says the LORD, "that this house shall become a desolation.""' 6 For thus says the LORD to the house of the king of Judah: "You are Gilead to Me, The head of Lebanon; Yet I surely will make you a wilderness, Cities which are not inhabited. 7 I will prepare destroyers against you, Everyone with his weapons; They shall cut down your choice cedars And cast them into the fire. 8 And many nations will pass by this city; and everyone will say to his neighbor, "Why has the LORD done so to this great city?' 9 Then 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.

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
