The Jehoiachin ration tablets
The exiled king of Judah, and even his sons, appear in Babylon's own ration lists — exactly the situation 2 Kings describes when it says he ate at the king's table.
Nabanggit sa labas ng BibliyaBagayc. 592 BC
Administrative tablets listing oil rations issued from the royal stores in Babylon. Among the recipients: "Yaukin, king of the land of Yahudu" — Jehoiachin of Judah — and his sons. Palace bookkeeping, written with no interest in the Bible, records a deported Judahite king being maintained at the Babylonian court.
10 sila of oil to Yaukin, king of the land of Yahudu; 2½ sila to the five sons of the king of Yahudu.
