Gill's Notes on the Bible

Say unto the king, and to the queen,.... Jehoiachin, and his mother Nehushta, as it is generally interpreted by the Jewish commentators, and others; who, with many princes and officers, were carried captive into Babylon, 2 Kings 24:12 or rather Zedekiah and his wife; since the captivity after threatened is a perfect and complete one, which Jehoiachin's was not:

humble yourselves, sit down; or, "sit down humbled" d; come down from your thrones, and sit in the dust; humble yourselves before the Lord for your own sins, and the sins of the people; in times of general corruption, and which threatens a nation with ruin, it becomes kings and princes to set an example of repentance, humiliation, and reformation; though it may be this is rather a prediction of what would be, that they should descend from their throne, and lose their grandeur, and be in a low and abject condition, than an exhortation to what was their duty; since it follows:

for your principalities shall come down; their royal state and greatness, and all the ensigns of it; and especially such as they had upon their heads, as the word used denotes, and as the following explanation shows:

even the crown of your glory; or glorious crown, which should fall from their heads, or be taken from them, when they should be no more served in state, or treated as crowned heads.

d השפילו שבו "degite humiliter", Castalio; "abjectissime considite", Junius Tremellius "loco humili considite", Piscator

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The queen - i. e., “the queen-mother:” the word signifies literally “the great lady.” The king’s mother took precedence of his wives.

Sit down - The usual position of slaves.

For your principalities ... - Rather, “for the ornaments of your heads, even the crown of your majesty, shall come down.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 13:18. Say unto the king and to the queen — Probably Jeconiah and his mother, under whose tutelage, being young when he began to reign, he was left, as is very likely.

Sit down — Show that ye have humbled yourselves; for your state will be destroyed, and your glorious crown taken from your heads.
