Holier Than Thou - Biblical Contradictions

When was Jehoiachin king of Judah released from prison under Babylonian captivity?

Jeremiah 52:31, "In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Evil-Merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah and freed him from prison on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month."

2 Kings 25:27, "In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Evil-Merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin from prison on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month."

Both Jeremiah and the author of 2 Kings chapter 25 agree that Jehoiachin king of Judah was released after 37 years of Babylonian captivity in the year Evil-Merodach became king of Babylon, however, they are off by two days of each other.
