Exegesis

In context — 2 Chronicles 24:25
And when they withdrew from him, because they had left him with diseases , his servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. He died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the graves of the kings.
