John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

So Azariah slept with his fathers,.... Or died, when he had reigned fifty two years:and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; but not in the sepulchres of the kings, but in the field of the burial, or the burying ground which belonged to them, because he was a leper, 2Ch 26:23.

Benjamin of Tudela places his grave near the pillar of Absalom, and the fountain of Siloah, near the brook Kidron:and Jotham his son reigned in his stead; who reigned sixteen years; a further account of him, and his reign, we have in the latter part of this chapter, after the reigns of several of the kings of Israel.
