2 Chronicles 26:23 - Exposition

In the field of the burial which belonged to the kings . The parallel simply says," with his fathers in the city of David." Judging, however, both from the somewhat remarkable words in our text, "the field of the burial" ( i.e. the burial-field), and from the following clause, for they said, He is a leper , we may understand that, though it was in the "city of David" that he was buried, and "with his fathers" so far forth, and also that he lay near them, yet his actual sepulchre was not one with theirs, any more than his house of late had been one with the house he had known so well.
