Exegesis
The noun hamasa {הַמַּשָּׂא | hă-măs-sāʼ} functions as the object of accumulation in the pronominal suffix alav {עָלָיו | ʼă-lā-w} “upon him,” here conveying weighty pronouncements against the king.
In context — 2 Chronicles 24:27
Now concerning his sons, the many burdens upon him, and the restoration of the house of God , behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
