And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father,.... In a sepulchre there he himself had made, and in great pomp and solemnity, being laid on a bed filled with sweet odours and spices, prepared according to art, and which were burned for him, 2Ch 16:14, and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead; a very pious and worthy prince.

This site's exposition

diseased in his feet

on 1 Kings 15:23-24

The closing formula for Asa lists his might, then adds that in old age “he became diseased in his feet”. At 2 Chronicles 16:12 the Chronicler adds that “even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians”. Jehoshaphat succeeds him, and David's lamp still burns.

This site's exposition

his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place

Barnes and Gill note from 2 Chronicles 16:14 that Asa cut his own tomb in Jerusalem and was laid on a bier full of spices. Gill calls his son Jehoshaphat a pious and worthy king. His reign over Judah is told at 22:41 to 50.
