And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; should I really wait for the LORD any longer?

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.
