A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 9:37

"And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber." — Acts 9:37 (ASV)

In an upper chamber (εν υπερωιω). See on 1:13. Also in verse 39. In that house. This service was rendered by the women, though Luke has λουσαντες (masculine plural aorist active participle of λουω), a general way of saying "they washed." The interment was not hurried as in Jerusalem (Ananias and Sapphira) and the upper room is where the body was usually placed.
