2 Chronicles 21:19

Compare all

17 And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, and also ^ahis sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except¹ Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

18 After all this the Lord struck him ^ain his intestines with an incurable disease.

19 Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no¹ burning for him, like ^athe burning for his fathers.

20 He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one’s sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

After the end of two years , his bowels fell out - The Targum seems to intimate that he had a constipation and inflammation in his bowels; and that at last his bowels gushed out.

No burning - "His people made no burning of aromatic woods for him, as they had done for his forefathers." - Targum. See on II Chronicles 16:14 (note).
