First Book of Kings (Author Compiled by Isaias from records of Samuel, David, Nathan, and Gad.)
2:25If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
