31. And then in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, the king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and brought him out from prison.
32. Then he spoke with him kindly and gave his seat above the seats of the kings who were with him in Babylon.
33. So he changed the garments of his imprisonment and he ate food before him continually all the days of his life.
34. And his allowance, a continual allowance was given to him by the king of Babylon on a daily basis all the days of his life up to the day of his death.
