*
Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah ,
in the twelfth month ,
on the twenty-seventh day of the month ,
that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon ,
in the year that he began to reign ,
released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison .
*
He spoke kindly to him ,
and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon .
*
So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments ,
and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life .
*
And as for his provisions ,
there was a regular ration given him by the king ,
a portion for each day ,
all the days of his life .
