2 Chroniques 21:20

2 Chroniques 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 ) .

2 Chroniques 21:20 In-Context

18 Après tout cela, l'Éternel le frappa dans ses entrailles, d'une maladie incurable.

19 Et il arriva, au bout d'un certain temps, vers la fin de la seconde année, que ses entrailles sortirent par la force de sa maladie, et il mourut dans de grandes souffrances; son peuple ne fit point brûler sur lui de parfums, comme on avait fait sur ses pères.

20 Il était âgé de trente-deux ans quand il devint roi, et il régna huit ans à Jérusalem. Il s'en alla sans être regretté, et on l'ensevelit dans la cité de David, mais non dans les tombeaux des rois.
