2 Chronicles 28:27 Summary
This verse tells us that Ahaz, the king of Judah, died and was buried in Jerusalem, but not in the special tombs where the other kings were buried, because of his wicked ways.

We can learn from Ahaz's mistakes and Hezekiah's example, as seen in Proverbs 10:9 and 2 Chronicles 29:1-36, to seek to honor God in our own lives. By following God's ways, we can experience His blessing and joy, just like Hezekiah did.
