(10) So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Here we come at last to David's death and burial. Alas! what is the sum total of every man's history in the world, but that he was born, and lived, and died, and was buried? But, Reader, let you and I solemnly remember that, as it is appointed unto men once to die, so after death there is a judgment. Ah! here is the thing which makes both life and death important. Where we die, or when we die, is not so interesting; but it is of eternal consequence how we die. Blessed (said the voice of heaven) blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:13.
