31 Judah's King Jehoiachin had been in exile for thirty-seven years when Awil-merodach became king in Babylon. He took note of Jehoiachin's plight and released him from prison on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of that very year.

32 Awil-merodach treated Jehoiachin kindly and gave him a throne higher than those of the other kings with him in Babylon.

33 So Jehoiachin discarded his prison clothes and ate his meals at the king's table for the rest of his life.

34 The Babylonian king provided him daily provisions for the rest of his life, right up until he died.

New International Version NIV

31 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah and freed him from prison.

32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

33 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table.

34 Day by day the king of Babylon gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived, till the day of his death.
