He spoke kindly to him, and gave him a seat above the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon — Evil-merodach honors Jehoiachin above other captive kings, indicating special favor. The seating arrangement—above other kings—marks Jehoiachin's elevation within the captive royal community. This honor suggests recognition of Jehoiachin's importance despite his humiliation and captivity.
