Scripture focus
And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries’ art: and they made a very great burning for him.
2 Chronicles 16:14 — KJV
In his own sepulchres. The particulars of Asa’s burial found in this verse are peculiar to Chronicles. The plural “sepulchres” probably indicates a family tomb containing a number of cells. Burial in Palestine was common in chambers hewn from the rock (see Isa. 22:16; Matt. 27:60; Mark 15:46; Luke 23:53).
Sweet odours. This was in harmony with the custom in Palestine (cf. John 19:39, 40).
A very great burning. This was not cremation, since such a practice was not followed by the Hebrews. Perhaps the burning of incense and spices is referred to (see on ch. 21:19).
