2 Kings 25:29 In-Context

27 In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Y'hoyakhin king of Y'hudah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Eveel-M'rodakh began his reign as king of Bavel; and in his first year he commuted the sentence of Y'hoyakhin king of Y'hudah and released him from prison.

28 He treated him with kindness and gave him a throne higher than those of the other kings there with him in Bavel.

29 So Y'hoyakhin no longer had to wear prison clothes; moreover, he was provided with food as long as he lived;

30 and he was granted a daily allowance by the king to spend on his other needs for as long as he lived.
