Short, but awful, the account of the king's death! In that night. A night indeed of terrors. Certainly it was a night of the most daring impiety. Probably also, a night of drunkenness. So died this wretched man. The gospel, in the same short, but expressive manner, relates the death of the voluptuous sinner. The rich man died, and was buried. And the next account of him was in hell. Luke 16:22-23; Revelation 6:8.
