The answer
King Jehoiachin is let out of prison in Babylon. The Babylonian king "spoke kindly to him," and Jehoiachin dined in the king's presence every day of his life (2 Kings 25:27-30).
Why it’s interesting
Chronicles ends later, with Cyrus of Persia's decree letting the exiles go home to build the Temple (2 Chronicles 36:22-23). The decree breaks off mid-invitation, on the words "go up."
