³⁰and he placeth his carcase in his own grave, and they mourn for him, ‘Oh, my brother!’ ³¹And it cometh to pass, after his burying him, that he speaketh unto his sons, saying, ‘At my death—ye have buried me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; near his bones place my bones; ³²for the word certainly cometh to pass that he called by the word of Jehovah concerning the altar which is Beth-El, and concerning all the houses of the high places that are in cities of Samaria.’
