31. And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison, 32. And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon, 33. And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. 34. And [for] his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Theological / Devotional

Five and twentieth day. 2 Kings 25:27 has the 27th day. Here again we have an event that took place in several steps that may or may not have occurred on the same day (see on Jer. 52:12). Hence it is impossible to say whether these differing figures represent a scribal error or two valid dates chosen by different writers to record the same general event.

Lifted up the head. Approximately 561 B.C. (see Vol. II, p. 161). On vs. 31-33 see on 2 Kings 25:27-29.
