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. |
*gasp* Evilmerodach king of Babylon must have been celebrating Christmas. Just look at his name! Everything about him says "evil"! How dare he give a prophet his freedom on such an unholy day! Jeremiah should have boycotted. Said he'd stay in prison til he rotted rather than accepting such a bad king's gift of freedom and food and all on such a day. Wonder how he got into the bible with such a compromising spirit?
I would have never figured out the date on my own... took me a few minutes to convert it to modern English even when it was in bold.
