Gen_50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

Not because he was fallen out of favour, for he had the happiness to be favourite to five kings, {a} Onus, Amasis, Chebron, Amenophes, and Mephiris, in the eleventh year of whose reign he died, - but because he was now a mourner; and such were not wont to come before kings, {Est_4:2} though none but such as mourn are suffered to come before God. {Mat_5:4}
{a} Pareus.
