There are several Bible passages which are almost identical. In this case, it is most likely that both passages are borrowing from a common source document.
There is a small discrepancy in the two passages. Jeremiah says that Jehoiachin was freed on the 25th day of the 12th month, whereas 2 Kings says it was on the 27th day of the 12th month. Either this is a copyist error, or the process of Jehoiachin’s release took three days: the announcement was made on the 25th, and he was actually set free on the 27th.
Thank you for the information on those two scriptures. It helps me to understand this weeks portion of bible reading. I personally need similar explanations to other seemingly contradictory bible records, to help give effective answers to those that ask for the reason of the hope in us. 1 Peter 3:15. Thanks once more.
