Rebellion — Disobedience to God's command. Stubbornness — Contumacy in sin, justifying it, and pleading for it. Iniquity — Or, the iniquity of idolatry. Rejected — Hath pronounced the sentence of rejection: for that he was not actually deposed by God before, plainly appears, because not only the people, but even David, after this, owned him as king. Those are unworthy to rule over men, who are not willing that God should rule over them. |
