You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, you have killed your people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named forever.

A Fitting End
Commentators highlight the profound justice in the king's fate. Because he "destroyed his land," the land itself symbolically rejects him, denying him a proper burial. As John Calvin notes, he who laid the earth desolate does not deserve that the earth should receive him into its bosom. This serves as a powerful illustration of God's principle of retributive justice, where the punishment fits the crime.
