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
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.
x כה אמר "haec dixit", Grotius; "sic dixit", Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Go down - i. e., from the temple to the king’s 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
Verse Jeremiah 22:1. Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word — This is supposed by Dahler to have been published in the first year of the reign of Zedekiah.
