The death of the king and a poor man

The death of a king and the death of a poor man are not the same. The Kings death is announced. The poor man's death is pronounced. The death of a good man also differs from that of a wicked man. Whereas people comfort those whom the good man leaves behind, they come to confirm that the wicked man is dead. Death joins the dead and separates the living. But to both is grief.
