Contextual Overview
1This is what the LORD says: "Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there, 2saying, 'Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David-you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.3This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David's throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses-they and their officials and their people. 5But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.'" 6For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: "You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will certainly turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited. 7I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire. 8And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, 'Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?' 9Then people will reply, 'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And say, hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah,.... O Jehoiakim king of Judah, hear the word of the King of kings; listen to it, and obey it, as kings ought to do; and it is for their good, as well as it is their duty, so to do:
that sittest upon the throne of David; whom he mentions, to put him in mind of his illustrious ancestor, whose successor he was, that he might be prompted to follow his example:
thou, and thy servants, and that people that enter in by these gates; the king and his courtiers, his nobles and privy counsellors, that were continually waiting upon him, and were frequently passing and repassing the gates of the palace; for not the gates of the court in the temple are meant, as Kimchi suggests; and all other people, that either waited on or came to the king, upon business, with their suits, and to have their causes heard and tried.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 22:2. O king of Judah - thou, and thy servants — His ministers are here addressed, as chiefly governing the nation; and who had counselled Zedekiah to rebel.
