31 In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Awel-Marduk, king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison,
32 and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Therefore Jehoiachin changed his prison garments and continually ate meals before him all the days of his life.
34 For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion all the days of his life until the day of his death.
