Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Acts 13:36

Acts 13:36 · Douay-Rheims
“For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.”
On this verse:
“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God--rather, "served," in his own generation, the will (or "counsel") of God; yielding himself an instrument for the accomplishment of God's high designs, and in this respect being emphatically "the man after God's own heart." This done, he "fell asleep, and was gathered to his fathers, and saw corruption." David, therefore (argues the apostle), could not be the subject of his own prediction, which had its proper fulfilment only in the resurrection of the uncorrupted body of the Son of God, emphatically God's "Holy One."”
