Where was Ahaz buried after his death?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: In Jerusalem, but not in the royal tombs
2 Chronicles 28:27 notes that although he was buried in the city of Jerusalem, he was not brought into the sepulchers of the kings of Israel. This served as a final mark of dishonor for his wicked reign.
