2 Chronik 32:33

33 Und Hiskia entschlief mit seinen Vätern, und sie begruben ihn, wo man hinangeht zu den Gräbern der Kinder Davids. Und ganz Juda und die zu Jerusalem taten ihm Ehre in seinem Tod. Und sein Sohn Manasse ward König an seiner Statt.

2 Chronik 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.

32 Was aber mehr von Hiskia zu sagen ist und seine Barmherzigkeit, siehe, das ist geschrieben in dem Gesicht des Propheten Jesaja, des Sohnes Amoz, im Buche der Könige Juda's und Israels. {~}
