2 Chronicles 32:33 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:24-33

Here we conclude the story of Hezekiah with an account of three things concerning him:? I. His sickness and his recovery from it, 2 Chron. 32:24. The account of his sickness is but briefly mentioned here; we had a large narrative of it, 2 Kgs. 20:1-11 His disease seemed likely to be mortal. In the extremity of it he prayed. God answered him, and gave him a sign that he should recover, the going back of the sun ten degrees. II. His sin and his repentance for it, which were also more largely... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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 Journey from Aleppo, &c.; p. 76. conjectures, that Hezekiah was here... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 32:33

Chiefest of the sepulchres - This respect they paid to him who, since David, had been the best of all their kings. I shall subjoin a few things from the Targum on this chapter. 2 Chronicles 32:1 . "After these things which Hezekiah did, and their establishment, the Lord appointed by his Word to bring Sennacherib, king of Assyria, and his army, into the land of Israel, that he might destroy the Assyrians in the land of the house of Judah, and smite their troops on the mountains... read more

Hezekiah's happiness. 1 . There can be no question at all as to Hezekiah's greatness. He was one of the greatest of the kings of Judah; not more than two, or three at the most, can be named as being greater than he. 2 . Or as to the excellency of his estate (see text, 2 Chronicles 32:27-29 ). He had all that his heart could wish, so far as temporal possessions were concerned. 3 . Or as to the regard in which he was held by his subjects. They evidently "delighted to honour"... read more

In the chiefest of the sepulchres; literally, in the ascent of the sepulchres; i.e. in new burial-places, either on the ascent to the old ones, probably now full, or else above , them. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 32:33

The chiefest of the sepulchres - Most modern commentators render - “on the ascent to the sepulchres;” but some think that an excavation above all the other tombs - in the same repository, but at a higher level (see the margin) - is intended. The catacomb of David was full; and the later princes had sepulchres quite distinct from the old burial-place (see 2Ch 33:20; 2 Kings 21:18, 2 Kings 21:26; 2 Kings 23:30). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 32:33

2 Chronicles 32:33. All Judah did him honour at his death They buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres, made as great burning for him as for Asa; or, which is a much greater honour, made great lamentation for him, as they afterward did for Josiah. Though it is to be feared that the generality of the people did not comply with those of their kings, who were pious, in their endeavours to reform the nation; yet they could not but praise those endeavours, and the memory of those kings was... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

Hezekiah’s political administration (32:1-33)To the writer of Chronicles, Hezekiah’s religious reforms were the most important feature of his reign. Politically, he was able to remain independent of Assyria, but only because God intervened in response to his faith (32:1-23; see notes on 2 Kings 18:13-19:37). He also made Judah prosperous. But pride in his achievements led him to become friendly with Babylon, the rising power in the region. It was a policy that later brought disaster upon Judah... read more
