2 Kings 25:27, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The narrator closes the book with a precise date: thirty-seven years after Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon, in the accession year of Evil-merodach, the new Babylonian king releases him from prison. Jehoiachin had been carried off in 597 BC, and this act of royal favor reverses, in a small way, the humiliation that began the exile.
