Jeremiah 52:27-34 ▼

27 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.

28 These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;

29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;

30 in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.

31 On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.

32 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

33 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.

34 And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
