1 Samuel 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 12:25

But if ye shall still do wickedly
Continue to rebel against God, revolt from him, and depart from his worship, and despise his prophets, and serve idols:

ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king;
their king would be so far from protecting, that he should perish with them, be killed by the sword, as Saul their first king was, or go into captivity, as others of their kings did.

24 Only go in the fear of the Lord, and be his true servants with all your heart, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you.
25 But if you still do evil, destruction will overtake you and your king.
