29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30 in the Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard exiled 745 of the Jews—all together 4,600 people.
31 Now it came to pass on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, that King Evil-merodach of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, and released him out of prison.
32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Then he changed out of his prison garments, dined regularly before him all the days of his life.
34 As for his allowance, a regular allowance was given to him by the king of Babylon, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
