Divrey Hayamim Bais 21:20

20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim shemoneh shanim, and departed without chemdah (desire [for him]). Howbeit they buried him in the Ir Dovid, but not in the kevarot hamelachim.

Divrey Hayamim Bais 21:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:20

Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he
reigned in Jerusalem eight years
See ( 2 Kings 8:17 ) ,

and departed without being desired;
to live, either by himself, being weary of life through the pain he endured; or by his people, he being so wicked a prince, and so ill beloved by them, that nobody wished to have him live, but were glad to hear of his death; the meaning is, he died unlamented; his death is expressed by a departing out of this world into another, a phrase more than once used for death in the New Testament, see ( John 13:1 ) ( Philippians 1:23 ) ,

howbeit, they buried him in the city of David, but not in the
sepulchres of the kings;
they showed him some respect for the sake of his father, by burying him in the city of David, but denied him the honour of lying in the royal sepulchres, see ( 2 Kings 8:24 ) .

Divrey Hayamim Bais 21:20 In-Context

18 And after all this Hashem struck him in his bowels with a choli for which there was no marpeh.

19 And it came to pass that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels protruded out by reason of his choli; so he died in great pain. And his people kindled no pyre in his honor, as they had done for his avot.
