1 Kings2:43

43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with ?

He was Guilty both of Rebellion against the express, and just, and (as himself called it) good Command of the King, and of Perjury against God; which were two high and hainous Crimes. His Oath, he calls the oath of the Lord, because it was taken in God's Presence, and he was called upon as witness of it, and as the Avenger of all Violations of it, and because the Law of God obliged him to the performance of it.
