וָאֹמַ֣ר לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אִם־עַל־הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב וְאִם־יִיטַ֥ב עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְפָנֶ֑יךָ אֲשֶׁ֧ר תִּשְׁלָחֵ֣נִי אֶל־יְהוּדָ֗ה אֶל־עִ֛יר קִבְר֥וֹת אֲבֹתַ֖י וְאֶבְנֶֽנָּה׃
און איך האָב געזאָגט צום מלך: אױב דעם מלך איז װױלגעפֿעלן, און אױב דײַן קנעכט איז װױלגעפֿעלן פֿאַר דיר, אַז דו זאָלסט מיך לאָזן גײן קײן יהודה צו דער שטאָט פֿון מײַנע עלטערנס קבֿרים, אַז איך זאָל זי אָפּבױען.
Radak
אשר גר שם אברהם ויצחק, this is mentioned seeing that now Yaakov also sojourned there. It teaches that it is appropriate for a person to be buried in the town where his ancestors had lived as it is a sign of honour for his ancestors who were also buried there. Nechemyah speaks repeatedly of “the city where my fathers have been buried;” he attributed the significance to the fact that several generations of his ancestors had been buried in the same place. (Nechemyah 2,3 and 2,5)
