Exegesis
The phrase el-kever avoteikha {אֶל־קֶבֶר אֲבֹתֶיךָ | ʾel-qeḇer ʾă-ḇō-ṯe-ḵā} links burial to family identity, so exclusion from the fathers’ grave functions as a public sign of judgment.
In context — 1 Kings 13:22
But you returned and ate bread and drank water in the place where He spoke to you, “Do not eat bread, and do not drink water.” Your corpse will not come to the grave of your fathers.
