Jeremiah 1:15

I will call; or, I am upon calling, it is at hand, I am about to incline the northern countries to join together in this work, Jeremiah 6:22, Jeremiah 10:22 25:9,26. The families, or kindreds, viz. those divers countries and nations that were under one lord, as a chief ruler is called the father of his country. The kingdoms, viz. the Babylonians and their assistants, the Medes also being in confederacy with them, whose king's daughter Nebuchadnezzar married. They shall set every one his throne; their seats, pavilions, or tents shall be pitched, which shall be as so many thrones, where I will see my judgments executed by the Chaldeans, Jeremiah 52:4. At the entering of the gates; at the entering to the gates, or way leading to the gates, Judges 9:35 2 Kings 7:3 Jeremiah 43:9, which besiegers have always a special regard to, that there be no going in or coming out, Isaiah 22:7. Against all the walls thereof round about; they shall begirt it round, noting the great multitude, power, and courage of the Chaldeans. Against all the cities; there were none of them should fare any better than Jerusalem.
