SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:20
Cuando comenzó a reinar era de treinta y dos años , y reinó en Jerusalén ocho años; y se fue sin ser deseado. Y lo sepultaron en la ciudad de David, mas no en los sepulcros de los reyes.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 21:20
Verse 20. Departed without being desired.] He was hated while he lived, and neglected when he died; visibly cursed of God, and necessarily execrated by the people whom he had lived only to corrupt and oppress. No annalist is mentioned as having taken the pains to write any account of his vile life. This summary mention of him consigns him to the execration of posterity, and holds in the view of every prudent governor, the rock on which he split and wrecked the state.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years , etc.] (see 2 Kings 8:17), and departed without being desired ; to live, either by himself, being weary of life through the pain he endured; or by his people, he being so wicked a prince, and so ill beloved by them, that nobody wished to have him live, but were glad to hear of his death; the meaning is, he died unlamented; his death is expressed by a departing out of this world into another, a phrase more than once used for death in the New Testament, (see John 13:1 Philippians 1:23), howbeit, they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings ; they showed him some respect for the sake of his father, by burying him in the city of David, but denied him the honour of lying in the royal sepulchres, (see 2 Kings 8:24).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-20 - A warning from God was sent to Jehoram. The Spirit of prophecy migh direct Elijah to prepare this writing in the foresight of Jehoram' crimes. He is plainly told that his sin should certainly ruin him. But no marvel that sinners are not frightened from sin, and to repentance by the threatenings of misery in another world, when the certainty of misery in this world, the sinking of their estates, and the ruin of their health, will not restrain them from vicious courses. See Jehora here stripped of all his comforts. Thus God plainly showed that the controversy was with him, and his house. He had slain all his brethre to strengthen himself; now, all his sons are slain but one. David' house must not be wholly destroyed, like those of Israel's kings because a blessing was in it; that of the Messiah. Good men may be afflicted with diseases; but to them they are fatherly chastisements and by the support of Divine consolations the soul may dwell at ease even when the body lies in pain. To be sick and poor, sick an solitary, but especially to be sick and in sin, sick and under the curse of God, sick and without grace to bear it, is a most deplorabl case. Wickedness and profaneness make men despicable, even in the eye of those who have but little religion __________________________________________________________________
