Clarke's Jeremiah 13:18 Bible Commentary
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.
Barnes's Jeremiah 13:18 Bible Commentary
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."
