[25:27] In the year that Evil-Merodach became king of Babylonia, he showed kindness to King Jehoiachin of Judah by releasing him from prison. This happened on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin had been taken away as prisoner.
[25:28] Evil-merodach treated him kindly and gave him a position of greater honor than he gave the other kings who were exiles with him in Babylonia.
[25:29] So Jehoiachin was permitted to change from his prison clothes and to dine at the king's table for the rest of his life.
[25:30] Each day, for as long as he lived, he was given a regular allowance for his needs.
