Exegesis
The construct phrase ʾōṣrōt melkê Yehudah {אוֹצְרוֹת מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה | ʾō-ṣrōṯ melkê Yə-hū-ḏāh} “treasures of the kings of Judah” situates the plunder.
In context — Jeremiah 20:5
And I will give all the resources of this city, all its gains, all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies, and they will plunder them, take them, and bring them to Babylon.
