Jeremiah 52:31-34

Good News Translation

³¹ In the year that Evil-merodach became king of Babylonia, he showed kindness to King Jehoiachin of Judah by releasing him from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin had been taken away as a prisoner. ³² Evil-merodach treated him kindly and gave him a position of greater honor than he gave the other kings who were exiles with him in Babylonia. ³³ So Jehoiachin was permitted to change from his prison clothes and to dine at the king's table for the rest of his life. ³⁴ Each day for as long as he lived, he was given a regular allowance for his needs.
