Now 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;

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;

So Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes, and had his meals in the king's presence regularly all the days of his life;

And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

and as his allowance, a regular allowance was given to him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.

And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
