16:14 Asa had an honorable burial despite his sins. He had made extravagant preparations for his burial during his lifetime, including a tomb he had carved out for himself. Asa might have been imitating the pharaohs of Egypt in making these preparations. • The custom of a huge funeral fire is unknown outside of Chronicles and Jeremiah (cp. Jer 34:5).
