1 Kings 13:30

30 et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo et planxerunt eum heu frater

1 Kings 13:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 13:30

And he laid his carcass in his own grave
Which he had prepared for himself; for, as he came from Samaria, it could not be the sepulchre of his fathers; and this was showing all the respect, and doing all the honour to him, he well could:

and they mourned over him;
the prophet and his sons: saying,

alas, my brother;
which was an usual form of lamentation at funerals in later times, see ( Jeremiah 22:18 ) .

1 Kings 13:30 In-Context

28 et ille abisset invenit cadaver eius proiectum in via et asinum et leonem stantes iuxta cadaver non comedit leo de cadavere nec laesit asinum

29 tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei et posuit illud super asinum et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetae senis ut plangerent eum

30 et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo et planxerunt eum heu frater

31 cumque planxissent eum dixit ad filios suos cum mortuus fuero sepelite me in sepulchro in quo vir Dei sepultus est iuxta ossa eius ponite ossa mea

32 profecto enim veniet sermo quem praedixit in sermone Domini contra altare quod est in Bethel et contra omnia fana excelsorum quae sunt in urbibus Samariae
