1 Kings 2:10
"So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So David slept with his fathers,.... Died as his ancestors before him did; for, buried with them he was not; and therefore cannot be understood of his lying with them

in the grave, but in the state of the dead; he died according as the Jews say (q) on the day of Pentecost, and according to Bishop Usher (r) A. M. 2990, and before Christ 1014; and was buried in the city of David; not at Bethlehem, in the sepulchre of Jesse, who was a private man; but being a king, in his own city, the hold of Zion he took from the Jebusite, and which afterwards was called by his name, Sa2 5:7 ; and his sepulchre remained unto the times of the apostles, upwards of a thousand years; see Gill on Act 2:29 . (q) T. Hieros. Chagigah, fol. 78. 1. (r) Anuals, &c. p. 56.
