³⁶ “For David, after he had served ^[a]his own generation by the will of God, ^(A)fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and ^[b]saw corruption;

²⁹ “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you ^(A)of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Death of David^(A)

¹⁰ So ^(B)David ^[a]rested with his fathers, and was buried in ^(C)the City of David.

²² And ^(A)when He had removed him, ^(B)He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ^(C)‘I have found David the son of Jesse, ^(D)a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

^12 (A)“When your days are fulfilled and you ^(B)rest with your fathers, ^(C)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

David’s Administration^(A)

¹⁴ So David reigned over all Israel, and administered judgment and justice to all his people.

⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and ^(A)this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ^(B)“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

¹⁸ Then also those who have ^[a]fallen ^(A)asleep in Christ have perished.

⁶ After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have ^[a]fallen asleep.

³⁹ Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”
