Commentary

2 notes on this verse
The chiefest of the sepulchres - Most modern commentators render - “on the ascent to the sepulchres;” but some think that an excavation above all the other tombs - in the same repository, but at a higher level (see the margin) - is intended. The catacomb of David was full; and the later princes had sepulchres quite distinct from the old burial-place (see 2Ch 33:20; 2Ki 21:18, 2Ki 21:26; 2Ki 23:30).

This site's exposition

the vision of Isaiah the prophet

on 2 Chronicles 32:32-33

The closing formula names Isaiah's vision and the book of the kings of Judah and Israel as the sources behind the reign, the same double citation the Chronicler gives most kings before him. Hezekiah is buried in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David, honored at his death by all Judah and Jerusalem, closing a reign Chronicles has told as reform, deliverance, sickness, pride and humbling in one continuous account. Manasseh his son reigned in his stead, the transition into the chapter Chronicles alone tells with a repentance Kings never records.
