And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 30 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Kings. The book ends with an unexpectedly hopeful change: Evil-merodach releases Jehoiachin from prison and grants him a privileged place at the king of Babylon’s table. Jehoiachin receives new clothing and a permanent allowance. Although Jerusalem has been destroyed and the monarchy appears finished, Judah’s royal line does not completely disappear from the narrative horizon. The ending does not resolve the exile, but leaves open a possibility of restoration. The release of a descendant of David introduces a note of hope after the devastation and prevents the book from ending solely with an image of definitive defeat.

und es ward ihm ein Teil bestimmt, das man ihm allewege gab vom König, auf einen jeglichen Tag sein ganzes Leben lang.
Y fuele diariamente dada su comida de parte del rey de continuo, todos los días de su vida.
Le roi pourvut constamment à son entretien journalier tout le temps de sa vie.
E del continuo gli era dato, giorno per giorno, il suo piatto da parte del re, tutto il tempo della vita sua
E, quanto à sua subsistência, pelo rei lhe foi dada subsistência contínua, a porção de cada dia no seu dia, todos os dias da sua vida.
王賜給他日常需用的食物,每日一份,終身都是這樣。
