Jeremiah 52:31-34 - An Allowance For Jehoiachin

31 In the first year of his reign, King Evil-merodach of Babylon, showed favor to King Jehoiachin of Judah by releasing him from prison on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin of Judah. 32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of the other kings who were in Babylon with him. 33 Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes and regularly dined with the king as long as he lived. 34 As for his living expenses, a regular allowance was given him daily by the king of Babylon as long as he lived, until the day of his death.
