Ahaz was a king of Judah known for his idolatry and unfaithfulness to God, as detailed in <a href="/2_kings/16.htm">2 Kings 16</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/28.htm">2 Chronicles 28</a>. His reign was marked by significant spiritual decline, including the introduction of pagan practices and the closing of the temple doors.and was buried in the city of Jerusalem Ahaz was buried in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah and the spiritual center for the Israelites. Despite his unfaithfulness, he was still given the honor of being buried in the city, which underscores the importance of Jerusalem as a burial site for the kings of Judah. This reflects the cultural and historical significance of Jerusalem as the city of David, where many of the kings of Judah were laid to rest.but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel This indicates a significant dishonor, as the tombs of the kings were reserved for those who were respected and honored. Ahaz's exclusion from these tombs highlights the disapproval of his reign and actions. It serves as a cultural and historical marker of disgrace, showing that his idolatry and failure to follow God’s commandments were not forgotten by his successors or the people of Judah.And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place Hezekiah's ascension to the throne marks a significant turning point for Judah. Unlike his father, Hezekiah is remembered as a righteous king who sought to restore the worship of Yahweh and purify the temple, as detailed in <a href="/2_chronicles/29.htm">2 Chronicles 29-31</a>. His reign is characterized by religious reforms and a return to the covenant with God, making him a type of Christ in his role as a restorer and reformer.
