They buried him in his sepulchre which he had made for himself As one mindful of his grave. And laid him in the bed with sweet odours, and divers kinds of spices After the manner of those nations, Genesis 50:2; 2 Chronicles 21:19. And made a very great burning Of precious spices; thereby testifying their respect to him, notwithstanding his miscarriages. The eminent piety and usefulness of good men ought to be remembered to their praise, though they have had their blemishes. Let their faults be buried in their graves, while their services are remembered over their graves.
