2 Kings 25:27-30

Nebuchadnezzar Besieges Jerusalem

²⁷Now it came about in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he became king, released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison; ²⁸and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon. ²⁹So Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes, and had his meals in the king’s presence regularly all the days of his life; ³⁰and as his allowance, a regular allowance was given to him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.
