Exegesis
The verb vayishkav {וַיִּשְׁכַּב | wayyiškab} 'and he lay down' functions as a euphemism for death, paralleled by vayikkaber {וַיִּקָּבֵר | wayyiqqāber} 'and he was buried', where the Nifal passive foregrounds the action upon Rehoboam.
In context — 2 Chronicles 12:16
And Rehoboam lay down with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son became king in his place .
