So Jehoiachin put off his prison clothes. Every day of his life he dined regularly at the king's table — Jehoiachin's removal of prison garments and elevation to royal dining (לַחְמוֹ לִפְנֵי־מַלְכּוֹ, *lachmo lifnei-malko*, literally 'his bread before the king') indicates his restoration to respectable status. The phrase 'every day of his life' indicates a permanent change in his circumstances.
