Why did Amel-Marduk release King Jehoiachin?
Asked 3 years ago
If King Jehoiachin was as wicked as they say, why did Amel-Marduk, the new king of Judah release him, and treat him well?

Jehoiachin was exiled to Babylonia and imprisoned by Nebuchadnezzar. When Nebuchadnezzar died, his son Amel-Marduk (evil-Merodach or awel-Marduk) took over. He released Jehoiachin after 37yrs of imprisonment. He may have been influenced by God; saught favor with the Jews; felt compassion or Amel-Marduk may have spent time imprisoned where he befriended Jehoiachin.
