Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people; the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned—the explanation for the denial of burial: the king's destruction of his own land and people renders him unworthy of the honor accorded to other kings. The mention of the seed of evildoers never being renowned suggests that the judgment extends to the king's dynasty, which will be cut off. This verse establishes that the judgment is proportionate to the crime.
