So David slept with his fathers,.... Died as his ancestors before him did; for, buried with them he was not; and therefore cannot be understood of his lying with them in the grave, but in the state of the dead; he died according as the Jews say on the day of Pentecost, and according to Bishop Usher A.
M. 2990, and before Christ 1014;and was buried in the city of David; not at Bethlehem, in the sepulchre of Jesse, who was a private man; but being a king, in his own city, the hold of Zion he took from the Jebusite, and which afterwards was called by his name, 2Sa 5:7; and his sepulchre remained unto the times of the apostles, upwards of a thousand years, See Gill on "Ac 2:29".
