1 Samuel 6:5
6:5 You should make images of the sores and images of the mice 1 that are destroying the land. You should honor the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his grip on you, your gods, and your land. 2
1 Samuel 15:30
15:30 Saul 3 again replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Go back with me so I may worship the Lord your God.”
