Acts 13:36 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: David - fell on sleep - and saw corruption - David died, was buried, and never rose again; therefore, David cannot be the person spoken of here: the words are true of some other person; and they can be applied to Jesus Christ only; and in him they are most exactly fulfilled. See the notes on Acts 2:29, Acts 2:30, etc.
