2 Crônicas 32:33

33 E Ezequias dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram no mais alto dos sepulcros dos filhos de Davi; e todo o Judá e os habitantes de Jerusalém lhe renderam honras na sua morte. E Manassés, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

2 Crônicas 32:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:33

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers
Died, as they did:

and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of
David;
in the more honourable and principal of them; there are still to be seen, on the north of Jerusalem, some grottos, called the sepulchres of the kings, though it is certain none of the kings of Israel or Judah were buried there; unless it may be thought, as Mr. Maundrell ^F5 conjectures, that Hezekiah was here inferred, and that these are the sepulchres of the sons of David here mentioned; however, he observes, whoever was buried here, this is certain, that the place itself discovers so great an expense both of labour and treasure, that we may well suppose it to be the work of kings:

and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his
death;
by attending his funeral in great numbers, by burning spices for him, and by mourning for him many days:

and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead;
of whom a further account is given in the next chapter.

2 Crônicas 32:33 In-Context

31 Contudo, no negócio dos embaixadores dos príncipes de Babilônia, que lhe foram enviados a perguntarem acerca do prodígio que fora feito na sua terra, Deus o desamparou para experimentá-lo, e para saber tudo o que havia no seu coração.

32 Ora, o restante dos atos de Ezequias, e as suas boas obras, eis que estão escritos na visão do profeta Isaías, filho de Amoz, no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel.

33 E Ezequias dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram no mais alto dos sepulcros dos filhos de Davi; e todo o Judá e os habitantes de Jerusalém lhe renderam honras na sua morte. E Manassés, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
