²⁷ And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in Jerusalem; but they did not put him in the resting-place of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

²¹ So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
