Their: Psa 79:10; Mat 23:35; Rom 8:36; Rev 16:6, Rev 17:6, Rev 18:24 and there: etc. Either there was no friend or relation left to bury them, or none was allowed to perform this last sad office. The despotism of eastern princes often proceeds to such a degree of extravagance as to fill the mind with astonishment and horror. In Morocco, no person dares to bury the body of a malefactor without an order from the emperor; and Windus, speaking of a man who was to have been sawn in two, informs us, that "his body must have remained to be eaten by the dogs, if the emperor had not pardoned him." Psa 141:7; Jer 8:1, Jer 8:2, Jer 14:16, Jer 15:3, Jer 16:4, Jer 25:33, Jer 34:20; Rev 11:9 Psalms 79:4
