31. And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach 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 that were with him in Babylon,
33. And changed his prison garments: and he continually ate bread before him all the days of his life.
34. And for his food there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
