33 Y le hizo mudar las ropas de su cárcel, y comía pan delante de él siempre todos los días de su vida.

Jeremías 52:33 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:33

And changed his prison garments
Which were filthy, and of an ill smell; and put on him raiment more comfortable, as well as more honourable, and suitable to his dignity, and more fit to appear in, in the presence of the king and his court: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life:
either at the same table with the king; or at other near him, in his sight, in the same apartment; though the former seems more likely; and this he did as long as he lived; either Evilmerodach, or rather Jeconiah; though perhaps they both died much about the same time. All this was done about the year of the world 3444, and about five hundred sixty years before Christ, according to Bishop Usher ^F20 and Mr. Bedford ^F21; the authors of the Universal History ^F23 place it a year earlier.

Jeremías 52:33 In-Context

31 Y acaeció que en el año treinta y siete de la cautividad de Joaquín rey de Judá, en el mes duodécimo, a los veinticinco del mes, Evil-merodac, rey de Babilonia, en el año primero de su reinado, alzó la cabeza de Joaquín rey de Judá y lo sacó de la casa de la cárcel;

32 y habló con él amigablemente, e hizo poner su silla sobre las sillas de los reyes que estaban con él en Babilonia.

33 Y le hizo mudar las ropas de su cárcel, y comía pan delante de él siempre todos los días de su vida.

34 Y continuamente se le daba ración por el rey de Babilonia, cada cosa en su día por todos los de su vida, hasta el día que murió.
