And Joram slept with his fathers. Joram died after an illness, that lasted two years, of an incurable disease of his bowels. "No burning" was made for him, and there was no regret at his death. And was buried with his fathers in the city of David; i.e. in the portion of Jerusalem which David built; but, according to Josephus ("Ant. Jud:," 9:5. and the author of Chronicles, (2Ch_21:20) not in the sepulchers of the kings. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. Ahaziah is called "Jehoahaz" in 2Ch_21:17, by an inversion of the two elements of his name, and "Azariah" in 2Ch_22:6, apparently by a slip of the pen.
