The contrast between the earthly expectation and the prophesied future is another dramatic reversal. Other kings were buried in glory, but this king will not be revered after death. The king who was so mighty in life, and laid nations to rest, will be cast out and not fit to be buried with those he destroyed. The ultimate declaration is that “the seed of evil-doers shall never be renowned.” Of course, that is a statement from the perspective of the final days, when righteousness finally prevails.
