27In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin of Judah, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, King Evil-Merodach of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, pardoned King Jehoiachin of Judah and released him from prison.

28He spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prestigious position than the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

29Jehoiachin took off his prison clothes and ate daily in the king’s presence for the rest of his life.
