Barnes' Notes
Shall sleep - This euphemism for death, rare in the early Scriptures - being found only once in the Pentateuch (margin reference.), and once also in the historical books before Kings II Samuel 7:12 - becomes in Kings and Chronicles the ordinary mode of speech (see I Kings 2:10; I Kings 11:43, etc.; II Chronicles 9:31; II Chronicles 12:16, etc.). David uses the metaphor in one psalm Psalms 13:3. In the later Scriptures it is, of course, common. (Jeremiah 51:39; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 9:24; John 11:11; I Corinthians 11:30; I Corinthians 15:51; I Thessalonians 4:14, etc.)
