2 Chronicles 16:14

16:14 He was buried in the tomb he had carved out in the City of David. They laid him to rest on a bier covered with spices and assorted mixtures of ointments. They made a huge bonfire to honor him.

Acts 2:29

2:29 “Brothers, I can speak confidently to you about our forefather David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

tn Heb “and they burned for him a large fire, very great.”

sn Peter’s certainty is based on well-known facts.

tn Or “about our noted ancestor,” “about the patriarch.”
