Lièwángjìxià 25:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 27-30. And it came to pass in the thirty and seventh year
of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah
Who must then be fifty five years of age:

in the twelfth month, on the twenty and seventh day of the month;
in ( Jeremiah 52:31 ) it is said to be the twenty fifth day; of the reason of which difference, (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:31):

that Evilmerodach king of Babylon;
who is supposed, by some ^F26", to be the same with Belshazzar, and his successor Neriglissar, the same with Darius the Mede in Daniel. From hence, to the end of the chapter, the same account is given of the kindness of this king to Jehoiachin, as in ( Jeremiah 52:31-34 ) . (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:31), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:32), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:33), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:34).

Metasthenes ^F1 calls him Amilinus Evilmerodach, and says he reigned thirty years, and makes Belshazzar, or Baltassar, as he calls him, his third son.
