2 Chronicles 25:28

They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records the aftermath of King Amaziah’s assassination at Lachish, noting how his body was returned to Judah following a conspiracy that forced him to flee Jerusalem.

The words — The Hebrew verbs וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ (wa-yiśśāʾûhû) and וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ (wa-yiḳbəʾûhû) literally render "and they carried him" and "and they buried him," emphasizing the physical handling of the corpse.

The thread — This account parallels 2 Kings 14:20, which records the same event with the burial location specified as the City of David.

Why it lands — The text states that royal bodies are physically transported and interred with ancestors, establishing that political rebellion and divine discipline conclude with the same earthly reality of human burial practices.
