1 Kings 13:31
"And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying,.... He gave them the following charge: when I am dead, then bury me

in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; as it was his own, it might be reasonably thought they would bury him in it without such a charge; but, lest they should not, he gives it: lay my bones beside his bones; his view in this was, that when Josiah came to burn the bones of the priests, he would spare the bones of this man of God; and so his, lying by them, and mingled with them, would be spared also, and so it proved, Kg2 23:18 .
