"He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother!""
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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 Jer 22:18 .
