All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
All the kings of the nations lie in glory and honor, every one in his own house, which is his own grave. Their resting in their graves is honorable burial, in contrast to what follows for the fallen oppressor.
Unlike those buried kings, Satan is cast out of his grave and denied burial because he destroyed his land and slew his people. His rebellion brought desolation and death upon the earth, and that ruin is the reason he is refused the honor given to earthly monarchs.
At the time of his overthrow even the wicked are beyond his power to tempt or harm. He therefore remains alone with his evil angels upon the desolate earth, with no human subjects left to deceive or rule.
