31On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
32And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
34And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
— Jeremiah 52:31-34
