Gill's Notes on the Bible

But if thou refuse to go forth,.... Out of Jerusalem, to the Chaldean army, and submit to them:

this [is] the word that the Lord hath showed me, or the thing which should certainly come to pass; the word of prophecy the Lord had showed to the prophet, and which he now declares to the king; who asked of him a word, was desirous to know whether there was a word from the Lord, and what it was; and this it is which follows, in case he continued impenitent, obstinate, and disobedient.
