1 Kings 2:31

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And the king said unto him, do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him,.... Let him die where he is, slay him upon the spot, and then bury him; not by the altar, but in his own sepulchre, as later related, that in, give orders to bury him there; for Benaiah being a priest, could not be concerned in the burial of him, and besides it was below the dignity of his office:(see Gill on "1Ch 27:2" where Gill advances resaons for Benaiah not being a priest.
