"And he criedª° unto¹ the manª of Godª that¹ cameª° from¹ Judah,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Forasmuch¹¹ as² thou hast disobeyedª° the mouthª of the LORD,ª and hast not¹ keptª°¹ the commandmentª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª commandedª° thee, ... And when he was gone,²°¹ a lionª metª° him by the way,ª and slewª° him: and his carcaseª was¹ castª° in the way,ª and the assª stoodª° byª it, the lionª also stoodª° by¹ the carcase.ª" {1Kg 13:21-24} + "And when the prophetª that¹ brought him backª° from¹ the wayª heardª° [thereof], he said,ª° It¹ [is] the manª of God,ª who¹ was disobedientª° unto¹ the wordª of the LORD:ª therefore the LORDª hath deliveredª° him unto the lion,ª which hath tornª° him, and slainª° him, according to the wordª of the LORD,ª which¹ he spakeª° unto him." {1Kg 13:26} + "And Samuelª said,ª° Hath the LORDª [as great] delightª in burnt offeringsª and sacrifices,ª as in obeyingª° the voiceª of the LORD?ª Behold,¹ to obeyª° [is] betterª than sacrifice,ª¹ [and] to hearkenª° than the fatª¹ of rams.ª ... For¹ rebellionª [is as] the sinª of witchcraft,ª and stubbornnessª° [is as] iniquityª and idolatry.ª Because¹ thou hast rejectedª°¹ the wordª of the LORD,ª he hath also rejectedª° thee from [being] king.ª¹" {1Sm 15:22-23} |
