It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Yehoiakim king of Yehudah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-Merodakh king of Bavel, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Yehoiakim king of Yehudah out of prison;
28
and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Bavel,
29
and changed his prison garments. [Yehoiakim] ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:

and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
