2 Kings 25:30

Grace

28 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.

29 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.

And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
