1 AND it came to pass that after two days and two nights they were about to take his body and lay it in a sepulchre, which they had made for the purpose of burying their dead. 2 Now the queen having heard of the fame of Ammon, therefore she sent and desired that he should come in unto her. 3 And it came to pass that Ammon did as he was commanded, and went in unto the queen, and desired to know what she would that he should do. 8 And he said unto the queen: He is not dead, but he sleepeth in God, and on the morrow he shall rise again; therefore bury him not.
