2 Crônicas 25

Clarke: He no doubt became very unpopular after having lost the battle with the Israelites; the consequence of which was the dismantling of Jerusalem, and the seizure of the royal treasures, with several other evils. It is likely that the last fifteen years of his reign were greatly embittered: so that, finding the royal city to be no place of safety, he endeavoured to secure himself at Lachish; but all in vain, for thither his murderers pursued him; and he who forsook the Lord was forsaken by every friend, perished in his gainsaying, and came to an untimely end. 2 Chronicles 25:28 Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah. the city of Judah: that is, the city of David, as it is, 2Ki 14:20 Parallel Passage: 2 Kings 14:20+ Then they brought him on horses and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. 2 Samuel 5:7 Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, that is the city of David. Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah. This implies that he was buried in the royal tombs. NET NOTE The Hebrew text has “Judah,” but some medieval MSS read “David,” as does the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 14:20. The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7. Bob
