²⁰ He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in the city of David but not in the tombs of the kings.^(A)

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

²⁷ Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. His son Hezekiah succeeded him.^(A)

²⁵ When they had withdrawn, leaving him severely wounded, his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son^[a] of the priest Jehoiada, and they killed him on his bed.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.^(A)

²¹ So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword.
