²⁹ “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about ^(A)the patriarch David ^(B)that he both died and ^(C)was buried, and ^(D)his tomb is with us to this day.

³⁶ For David, after he had ^(A)served the purpose of God in his own generation, ^(B)fell asleep and ^(C)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,

⁴ See how great this man was to whom Abraham ^(A)the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils!

⁸ And ^(A)he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And ^(B)so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and ^(C)circumcised him on the eighth day, and ^(D)Isaac became the father of Jacob, and ^(E)Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.

⁹ “And the patriarchs, ^(F)jealous of Joseph, ^(G)sold him into Egypt; but ^(H)God was with him

¹⁶ After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the district of Beth-zur, repaired to a point opposite ^(A)the tombs of David, as far as ^(B)the artificial pool, and as far as the house of the mighty men.

The Death of David

^10 (A)Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in ^(B)the city of David.

²⁶ For ^(A)the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner.
