Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 21:19

"And it came to pass, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers." — 2 Chronicles 21:19 (ASV)

In process of time. —Compare 2 Chronicles 21:15. Literally, at days from days, that is, “a year after a year,” or “after two years.”

After the end of two years. —This clause more precisely defines the preceding. Literally, and about the time of the going forth of the end of two years, that is, when two full years after the delivery of the prediction had expired. The time of the event exactly coincided with the time predicted. The Vulgate translates it well: “duorum annorum expletus est circulus;” the Syriac: “When the prophet’s word was fulfilled touching two years.”

By reason of his sickness. —Literally, along with, that is, in, during, his disease, which appears to have been a violent dysentery.

So he died of sore diseases. — And he died in sore pains (tachaluim,Deuteronomy 29:21).

And his people made no burning for him. —The usual honours of a sovereign were withheld in his case. (See 2 Chronicles 16:14; and compare Jeremiah 22:19.) So the Syriac states: “And his people did him no honour, as they did to his fathers.”
