“The captivity of Jehoiachin commenced in the year 597 B.C. - the eighth year of Nebuchadnezzar. It terminated 561 B.C. - the first year of Evil-merodach, the son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar. He reigned only two years, being murdered by his brother-in-law, Neriglissar, or Nergal-shar-ezer. He is said to have provoked his fate by lawless government and intemperance.”

Commentary on Jeremiah 52:31–342 voices
“[Daniel 5:1] ‘Belshazzar the king made a great feast for his one thousand nobles; and each one drank in the order of his age.’ It should be known that this man was not the son of Nebuchadnezzar, as readers commonly imagine; but according to Berosus, who wrote the history of the Chaldeans, and also Josephus, who follows Berosus, after Nebuchadnezzar's reign of forty-three years, a son named Evilmerodach succeeded to his throne.”
Jerome · Commentary on Daniel, Chapter FivePatristic
“(2Ki 25:27-30). five and twentieth day--but in 2Ki 25:27, it is ‘the twenty-seventh day.’ Probably on the twenty-fifth the decree for his elevation was given, and the preparations for it made by releasing him from prison; and on the twenty-seventh day it was carried into effect.”
