Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 13:13
And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
13. and Jeroboam sat upon his throne ] i.e. Jeroboam the second, who was the third generation of the family of Jehu. This form of words concerning a royal succession is unusual. We generally have ‘reigned in his stead’. See below 2Ki 14:16 for the usual form concerning this same king.
with the kings of Israel ] Though Samaria was only built by Omri, Ahab’s father, yet by this time it had become the favourite city and the burial-place of the royal family.

And Joash slept with his fathers,…. Or died:
and Jeroboam sat upon his throne; who was his son; it is not said that he began to sit on it, or to reign, nor to reign in his father’s stead; hence it is concluded, as by Kimchi and others, that his father set him on his throne in his lifetime; and the Jewish chronology l expressly asserts that he reigned with him one year:
and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; see
2Ki 13:9, the history of his life and actions does not cease here, but, after an account of the sickness and death of Elisha, it is reassumed, which was necessary to interpose to lead on to it.

(13) Jeroboam sat upon his throne.The variation from the stereotyped phrase, and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead, is remarkable. (See 2Ki. 14:16.) The Talmud (Seder Olam) and Kimchi fancy that it is implied that Joash associated Jeroboam with himself on the throne, for fear of a revolt (!).
Buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.So that there were tombs of the kings there, as at Jerusalem.

2Ki 13:13. And Joash slept with his fathers The sacred writer does not here conclude the history of Joash, for he afterward relates great things done by him. But having to speak of the sickness and death of Elisha, upon which those things depended, he introduces that before he proceeds further to relate his acts.
