2 Chronicles 21:19

19 and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.

2 Chronicles 21:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:19

And it came to pass that in process of time, after the end of
two years
So long he was afflicted and tortured with the above disease:

his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness;
either in like manner as Judas's did, ( Acts 1:18 ) or as in the manner the bowels of Arius are said to do, while sitting on the seat of the vault ^F1; or perhaps only what was contained in the bowels is meant, if it was the colic:

so he died of sore diseases;
he seems to have had a complication of them, and these very painful and distressing:

and the people made no burning for him, like the burnings of his
fathers;
as they did for his grandfather Asa, ( 2 Chronicles 16:14 ) , they did not burn spices or odoriferous wood, as the Targum; though his body, because of the stench of it, needed it, as Jarchi observes.

2 Chronicles 21:19 In-Context

17 and they come up into Judah, and rend it, and take captive all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and also his sons, and his wives, and there hath not been left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

18 And after all this hath Jehovah plagued him in his bowels by a disease for which there is no healing,

19 and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.

20 A son of thirty and two [years] was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he goeth without desire, and they bury him in the city of David, and not in the graves of the kings.
