1 Kings 13:30 -

And he laid his carcase in his own grave [ Matthew 27:60 . This was a mark of profound respect ( Ruth 1:17 ; Genesis 23:6 )]; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother. [A customary formula in lamentation ( Jeremiah 22:18 ). It hardly implies that "he was mourned and buried as a relative of the family" (Bähr). Seeing that the old prophet was responsible for his death, he could hardly have done less. "It is a cruel courtesy to kill a man and then help him to his grave" (Hall).]
