26. And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27. And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28. and he spoke kindly to him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29. And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
30. and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
