The answer
Clay tablets from Babylon record rations issued to 'Jehoiachin, king of Judah,' and his sons. That matches 2 Kings 25:27-30, which says the exiled king was kept and later dined at the Babylonian court.

It's a quiet, concrete point where an administrative note from Babylon's storerooms touches a name in the Bible. Not every corroboration is a grand monument — some are grocery lists.
