**2 Kings 9:28** — *"Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David."*
King Ahaziah died in rebellion, yet his servants carried him home with honor. That detail is not incidental. Even a faithless king was returned to his kindred, to the soil of covenant promise, to the City of David.
Scripture reminds us that God's covenantal geography endures beyond human failure. Jerusalem was not merely a burial site — it was the dwelling place of promise, the city where God had set His name. To be carried there was to be received back into a story larger than one's own choices.
We, too, are carried by grace into places we could not reach by our own merit. The servants here were instruments of mercy for a man who had none left to claim.
Consider the faithfulness of God — present even in the final, quiet act of being brought home.
