And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Chronicles. Asa becomes seriously ill in his feet, and the chronicler observes that even in his illness he did not seek the Lord. After his death he receives an honorable burial. The evaluation of his reign is marked by the contrast between his initial reforms and his later dependence on human resources.

Und man begrub ihn in seinem Grabe, das er hatte lassen graben in der Stadt Davids. Und sie legten ihn auf sein Lager, welches man gefüllt hatte mit gutem Räuchwerk und allerlei Spezerei, nach der Kunst des Salbenbereiters gemacht, und machten ihm einen großen Brand.
Y sepultáronlo en sus sepulcros que él había hecho para sí en la ciudad de David;
on l'enterra dans le sépulcre qu'il s'était creusé dans la ville de David. On le coucha sur un lit qu'on avait garni d'aromates et de parfums préparés selon l'art du parfumeur, et l'on en brûla en son honneur une quantité très considérable.
e fu seppellito nella sua sepoltura, la quale egli si avea cavata nella Città di Davide; e fu posto in un cataletto che egli avea empiuto d’aromati, e d’odori composti per arte di profumiere; e gliene fu arsa una grandissima quantità
E o sepultaram no seu sepulcro, que tinha cavado para si na cidade de Davi, havendo-o deitado na cama, que se enchera de perfumes e especiarias preparadas segundo a arte dos perfumistas; e, destas coisas fizeram-lhe uma grande queima.
