Jeremiah 24:5-6
5“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, awhom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. 6 bI will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. cI will build them up, and not tear them down; dI will plant them, and not pluck them up.Jeremiah 52:31-34
Jehoiachin Released from Prison
31 eAnd in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed ▼▼Hebrew king, lifted up the head of
gJehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. 32And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of hthe kings who were with him in Babylon. 33So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king’s table, 34and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king, according to his daily needs, until the day of his death, as long as he lived.
