1 Kings 13:30

And he laid his carcass in his own grave ,.... Which he had prepared for himself; for, as he came from Samaria, it could not be the sepulchre of his fathers; and this was showing all the respect, and doing all the honour to him, he well could:

and they mourned over him ; the prophet and his sons: saying,

alas, my brother ; which was an usual form of lamentation at funerals in later times, see Jeremiah 22:18 .
