time Jehoiachin surrendered at discretion; and he, and the queen-mother, and all his servants,
captains and officers, came out and gave themselves up to Nebuchadnezzar, who carried them,
with the harem and the eunuchs, to Babylon. (Jeremiah 29:2; Ezekiel 17:12; 19:9) There he remained
a prisoner, actually in prison and wearing prison garments, for thirty-six years, viz., till the death
