1 Samuel 12:25

25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."

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 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; and I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."
