1 Kings 22:40 meaning and explanation
And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
1 Kings 22:40, Berean Standard Bible

This brief notice closes the account of Ahab, king of Israel, just after the chapter describes his death in battle at Ramoth-gilead. The phrase rested with his fathers is the standard formula in the books of Kings for a king's death and burial with his ancestors; it says nothing about his eternal state.
