Exegesis
The narrative continues with three coordinated aorist indicatives—prosetéthē {προσετέθη | prosetéthē} ‘was added’, eîden {εἶδεν | eîden} ‘he saw’, and diaphthorán {διαφθοράν | diaphthorán} ‘decay’—describing death, burial with the fathers (pròs toús patéras autoû {πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ | pròs toús patéras autoû} ‘to his fathers’), and resulting bodily corruption. English renders the participle as a temporal clause and coordinates the aorist verbs to reflect sequence, implicitly contrasting with Christ’s incorruption later.
In context — Acts 13:36
For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, he fell asleep and was added to his fathers and saw corruption .
