1 Kings 13:29

And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass [ i.e; the one standing by], and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. [The mourning is specially mentioned, because in the East professional wailers were and are employed at funerals. The Jew, no less than the Greek and Roman, esteemed it a great misfortune and disgrace to be deprived of decent burial: Isaiah 14:19 ; Jeremiah 22:19 ; and especially 2 Kings 9:10 .]
