1 Kings 2:43
"Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord,.... Which was made by him, and in his presence, and in which he was appealed to, and so by

not keeping it was guilty of perjury: and the commandment that I have charged thee with? and so guilty of disobedience to him as his sovereign; for which two reasons he ought to die.
