He was released on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month in the thirty-seventh year from when he was put in prison.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

- English: “After King Jehoiachin of Judah had been in prison in Babylon for almost thirty-seven years, Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon.
