with his fathers This phrase indicates the death of King Hezekiah, a common biblical expression meaning he died and joined his ancestors in death. Hezekiah was a king of Judah known for his faithfulness to God, his religious reforms, and his efforts to centralize worship in Jerusalem. His reign is detailed in <a href="/2_kings/18.htm">2 Kings 18-20</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/29.htm">2 Chronicles 29-32</a>. The phrase "rested with his fathers" suggests a peaceful death, often used for kings who were considered righteous.and was buried in the upper tombs of David’s descendants. Hezekiah's burial in the "upper tombs" signifies a place of honor among the royal burial sites, likely located in the City of David, Jerusalem. This burial location underscores his esteemed status among the kings of Judah. Archaeological evidence of royal tombs in this area supports the historical accuracy of such burials. The mention of "David’s descendants" connects Hezekiah to the Davidic line, emphasizing the messianic promise that the Messiah would come from David's lineage.All Judah and the people of Jerusalem paid him honor at his death. The collective mourning and honor paid by "all Judah and the people of Jerusalem" reflect Hezekiah's popularity and the impact of his leadership. His reforms, which included the restoration of temple worship and the celebration of Passover, endeared him to the people. This public mourning is reminiscent of the honor given to other righteous leaders in Israel's history, such as Samuel (<a href="/1_samuel/25.htm">1 Samuel 25:1</a>) and Josiah (<a href="/2_chronicles/35-24.htm">2 Chronicles 35:24</a>).And his son Manasseh reigned in his place. Manasseh's succession marks a significant transition in Judah's history. Unlike his father, Manasseh initially led the nation into idolatry and evil practices, as detailed in <a href="/2_kings/21.htm">2 Kings 21</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/33.htm">2 Chronicles 33</a>. His reign is often seen as a period of spiritual decline, contrasting sharply with Hezekiah's reforms. However, Manasseh's later repentance and return to God highlight themes of redemption and forgiveness. This transition also serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of Israel's faithfulness and apostasy throughout the Old Testament narrative.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a> A king of Judah known for his faithfulness to God, his reforms, and his efforts to restore proper worship in the temple.

"The sons of David" are the kings of the house of David. Hezekiah may have chosen a favourite spot for his burial-place; but, as his successors Manasseh, Amon, and Josiah likewise, were not laid in the tombs of the kings, it would appear that the old royal sepulchres were full.Did him honour at his death.--The phrase, "did him honour" ('as- k?bod lo) occurs here only.
