EXHORTATION TO REPENTANCE; JUDGMENT ON SHALLUM, JEHOIAKIM, AND CONIAH. (Jer. 22:1-30)
Go down—The temple (where Jeremiah had been prophesying) was higher than the king's palace on Mount Zion (Jeremiah 36:10, Jeremiah 36:12; II Chronicles 23:20). Hence the phrase, "Go down."
the king of Judah—perhaps including each of the four successive kings, to whom it was consecutively addressed, here brought together in one picture: Shallum, Jeremiah 22:11; Jehoiakim, Jeremiah 22:13-18; Jeconiah, Jeremiah 22:24; Zedekiah, the address to whom (Jeremiah 21:1, Jeremiah 21:11-12) suggests notice of the rest.
