Lexicon :: Strong's H6913 - qeḇer

Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out and went to his home, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself. So he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.

When they left Joash (for they left him very ill), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they murdered him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

Who rejoice exceedingly,

And rejoice when they find the grave?

“You will come to your grave in old age,

Like the stacking of grain [on the threshing floor] in its season.

‘I should have been as though I had not existed;

[I should have been] carried from the womb to the grave.’

“My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished,

The grave is ready for me.

“When he is carried to his grave,

A guard will keep watch over his tomb.

For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;

Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].

Their throat is an open grave;

They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.

[fn]Cast away [from the living] and abandoned among the dead,

Like the slain who lie in a [nameless] grave,

Whom You no longer remember,

And they are cut off from Your hand.

Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave

Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon (the underworld)?

“But you [king of Babylon] have been cast out of your tomb (denied burial)

Like a rejected branch,

Clothed with the slain who are pierced by the sword,

Who go down to the stones of the pit [into which carcasses are thrown],

Like a dead body trampled [underfoot].

‘What business do you have here?

And whom do you have here,

That you have hewn out a tomb here for yourself,

You who hew a sepulcher on the height,

You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?

His grave was assigned with the wicked,

But He was with a rich man in His death,

Because He had done no violence,

Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

Who sit among the graves [trying to conjure up evil spirits] and spend the night in the secret places [where spirits are thought to dwell];

Who eat swine’s flesh,

And their pots hold the broth of [fn]unclean meat;
