Contextual Overview
1 This is what the Lord said to me: "Go over and speak directly to the king of Judah. Say to him, 2 ‘Listen to this message from the Lord , you king of Judah, sitting on David's throne. Let your attendants and your people listen, too. 3 This is what the Lord says: Be fair-minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows. Stop murdering the innocent! 4 If you obey me, there will always be a descendant of David sitting on the throne here in Jerusalem. The king will ride through the palace gates in chariots and on horses, with his parade of attendants and subjects. 5 But if you refuse to pay attention to this warning, I swear by my own name, says the Lord , that this palace will become a pile of rubble.'" 6 Now this is what the Lord says concerning Judah's royal palace: "I love you as much as fruitful Gilead and the green forests of Lebanon. But I will turn you into a desert, with no one living within your walls. 7 I will call for wreckers, who will bring out their tools to dismantle you. They will tear out all your fine cedar beams and throw them on the fire. 8 "People from many nations will pass by the ruins of this city and say to one another, ‘Why did the Lord destroy such a great city?' 9 And the answer will be, ‘Because they violated their covenant with the Lord their God by worshiping 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.
