'And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth See Jer. lii. year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah 28 out of prison; and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that 29 were with him in Babylon. And he changed

his prison garments, and did eat bread before 30 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.
