2 Kings 16:20

was buried with his fathers The last three words are not represented in the LXX., and the Chronicler says -they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel." For bodily leprosy Uzziah had been treated in the same way after death and the moral and spiritual leprosy of the idol-loving Ahaz was worthy of a like deprivation. -Of all the kings of Judah hitherto, there is no one so dreadful an example, either of sin or judgment, as this son of good Jotham. I abhor to think that such a monster should descend from the loins of David. Where should be the period of this wickedness? He began with the high places … from thence he falls to a Syrian altar, to the Syrian god: then from a partnership, he falls to an utter exclusion of the true God, and blocking up of His temple, and then to the sacrifice of his own son; and at last as if hell were broken loose upon God's inheritance, every several city, every high place of Judah hath a new god. No marvel if he be branded (2 Chronicles 28:22) by the spirit of God with "This is that king Ahaz" " (Bp. Hall).
