Contextual Overview
1 This is the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the nations of the earth that were under his rule, and all the people, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its cities: 2 "The Lord God of Israel says, ‘Go and say to Zedekiah king of Judah, "This is what the Lord says: ‘See, I am giving this city to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire. 3 And you will not get away from him. You will be taken and given into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon.'"' 4 Yet hear the Word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah! The Lord says this about you: ‘You will not die by the sword. 5 You will die in peace. And as spices were burned for your fathers, the kings who were before you, so they will burn spices for you and cry in sorrow for you, "It is bad, lord!"' I Myself have said this," says the Lord. 6 Then Jeremiah the man of God told all this to King Zedekiah of Judah in Jerusalem, 7 when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the cities that were left of Judah. These cities were Lachish and Azekah. They were the only strong cities left in Judah that were ready for war.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord,.... This prophecy came to Jeremiah, and was delivered by him, when he was at liberty, and before his imprisonment, and was the occasion of it, as appears from Jeremiah 32:2; compared with Jeremiah 34:2; the prophecies not standing in the proper order in which they were given out; for the prophecy, in this first part of the chapter at least, was delivered out before that in the thirty second chapter:
when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem; when this mighty monarch appeared before Jerusalem with a numerous army, consisting of Chaldeans, the natives of his own kingdom, and with the auxiliary troops of each the kingdoms he had subdued and made tributary to him, even people of almost every nation under the heavens; and invested it, and laid siege to it, and lay against it:
and against all the cities thereof; the rest of the cities of Judah, which were as daughters of Jerusalem, the metropolis or mother city:
saying; as follows:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXIV
This chapter contains two prophecies: the first, delivered
during the siege of Jerusalem, predicts to Zedekiah the taking
and burning of the city, with his own peaceful death and
honourable burial, 1-7.
The second was delivered when the Chaldeans had for some time
broken up the siege. It reproves the Jews for their conduct
towards their brethren of the poorer sort, whom they released,
by a solemn covenant, from bondage, in the extremity of their
danger; but compelled to return to it when they thought that
danger over, 8-11.
For this God threatens them with the sword, pestilence, and
famine; and with the return of the Chaldeans, who should take
the city, destroy it and the other cities by fire, and make an
utter desolation of the whole land of Judea, 12-22.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXIV
Verse Jeremiah 34:1. The word which came unto Jeremiah — This discourse was delivered in the tenth year of the reign of Zedekiah. The chapter contains two discourses; one, Jeremiah 34:1-7, which concerns the taking of the city, and Zedekiah's captivity and death; the other, Jeremiah 34:8-22, which is an invective against the inhabitants of Jerusalem for having Hebrew male and female slaves. These, having been manumitted at the instance of the prophet, were afterwards brought back by their old masters, and put in the same thraldom; for which God threatens them with severe judgments.
Nebuchadnezzar-and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion — That is, his army was composed of soldiers gathered out of Babylon, and out of all his tributary dominions: one hundred and twenty provinces.
