2 KINGS 25:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.”
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.
