1 Kings 2:10

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

Ver. 10. So David slept with his fathers.] When he had served out his time, Act 13:25 when he had done his work, God sent him to bed. Isa 57:2 In 1 Chronicles 29:28, it is said that "he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour." He was regum omnium idea et exemplar, a notable pattern for princes, and in very many things a type of Christ.

And was buried in the city of David.] Not in Bethlehem, but in Zion, 2Sa 5:7 the usual royal burying place. Josephus a writeth that his son Solomon buried him magnificently; and that into his sepulchre were put very great riches, &c. It was to be seen till the apostles' times. Act 2:29
