1 Samuel 12:25

25 Be warned: If you live badly, both you and your king will be thrown out."

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.

1 Samuel 12:25 In-Context

23 "And neither will I walk off and leave you. That would be a sin against God! I'm staying right here at my post praying for you and teaching you the good and right way to live.
24 But I beg of you, fear God and worship him honestly and heartily. You've seen how greatly he has worked among you!
25 Be warned: If you live badly, both you and your king will be thrown out."
