²⁰ He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one’s sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

¹⁸ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

²⁷ So Ahaz ^[a]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they ^(A)did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Then Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

²⁵ And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), ^(A)his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the ^[a]sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

²¹ So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
