John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. So Azariah slept with his fathers , etc.] Or died, when he had reigned fifty two years: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David ; but not in the sepulchres of the kings, but in the field of the burial, or the burying ground which belonged to them, because he was a leper, ( 2 Chronicles 26:23).
Benjamin of Tudela places his grave near the pillar of Absalom, and the fountain of Siloah, near the brook Kidron: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead ; who reigned sixteen years; a further account of him, and his reign, we have in the latter part of this chapter, after the reigns of several of the kings of Israel.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Uzziah did for the most part that which was right. It was happy for the kingdom that a good reign was a long one.
