The act of speaking kindly indicates a shift from the harsh treatment Jehoiachin had previously experienced. In the ancient Near East, a king's words held significant power, and speaking kindly would have been a sign of grace and favor. This kindness can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to preserve a remnant of David's line, as Jehoiachin was a descendant of David. It also reflects the biblical theme of God’s mercy and the hope of restoration even in exile.<p><b>and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon</b><br>This phrase highlights the elevation of Jehoiachin's status among the other captive kings in Babylon. In the context of the Babylonian empire, it was common for conquered kings to be kept in the court as a sign of the empire's dominance. By setting Jehoiachin's throne above the others, Evil-merodach was not only showing him personal favor but also acknowledging his unique status. This act can be seen as a type of Christ, where Jehoiachin, a king in exile, is exalted, prefiguring Christ's exaltation after His suffering. It also connects to the biblical theme of God lifting the humble and fulfilling His covenant promises, as Jehoiachin's line would eventually lead to the birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate King.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jehoiachin.htm">Jehoiachin</a></b><br>The former king of Judah who was taken captive by the Babylonians.
