In the context of The Bible, the phrase "slept with his fathers" typically refers to a person dying and being buried alongside their ancestors. It signifies the passing of that individual and their reunion with their deceased family members in the afterlife. This phrase is a common euphemism for death in biblical literature, emphasizing the continuity of familial relationships even beyond death.

It was Samuel, the prophet, who spoke those words at 1 Samuel 13:13-14, as recounted at Acts 13:22: "...And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will."(kjv)


Why did David spare Saul's life?

David had been anointed to be the next king of Israel because Saul had selfishly turned away from God. Because Saul no longer had God's approval and spirit, his personality traits became more and more wicked. He tended toward jealousy and anger (1 Samuel 18:8+9) and as David grew closer and closer to God, Saul became very afraid of faithful David. (1 Samuel 18:12, 28+29)


What does Luke 20 verse 44 mean?

Luke 20 41And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, [Jesus here quoted Psalm 110] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? In talking to the scribes of the Sadducee sect, Jesus asked the rhetorical question, "How say they that Christ is David's son?" He then asked, "David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son [ descendant]?In the context of the previous section, where the Sadducees were trying to trap Jesus with a question they thought he could not answer, He then asked them a difficult question, which they could not answer without understanding the Bible. Christ is paradoxically, a descendant of King David ( his 'son'), and His Lord, the Messiah. The Saduccees did not understand that.It was at the time commonly believed that in "the LORD said unto my Lord" "my Lord" referred to the expected Messiah. The Messiah was to be a descendant of David, as well as his God.
