Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 35:24

"So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah." — 2 Chronicles 35:24 (ASV)

That chariot. — The (war) chariot.

Put him. — Made him ride.

Brought him to Jerusalem, and he died. — 2 Kings 23:30 says: "And his servants made him ride dead (or dying) from Megiddo." Even if it is not permissible to render mêth “dying,” we cannot agree with the suggestion of Thenius that the account of Chronicles is simply an arbitrary alteration of the older narrative for the sake of literary effect. The divergence proves that the chronicler had special sources of information at his command.

The second chariot was no doubt a more comfortable one, reserved in case of such an emergency.

In one of the sepulchres. — Omit one of. Kings, "in his own sepulchre," which would be a chamber among those of his immediate ancestors, Manasseh and Amon. (See 2 Kings 21:18.)

Mourned. — Were mourning.
