1 Sam. 15:24• 24And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. (1 Sam. 15:24)
;
1 Sam. 29:9• 9And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art acceptable to me, as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle. (1 Sam. 29:9)
;
2 Sam. 3:39• 39And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: Jehovah shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness. (2 Sam. 3:39)
;
2 Sam. 19:22• 22And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel? (2 Sam. 19:22)

Prov. 29:25• 25The fear of man bringeth a snare;{HR}But whoso putteth his confidence in Jehovah is protected. (Prov. 29:25)

John 19:12‑16• 12From this [time] Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews kept crying, saying, If thou wilt release this [man], thou art not a friend of Caesar: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
 13Pilate then, having heard these words, led Jesus out and sat down on [the] judgment seat at a place called Pavement, but in Hebrew Gabbatha.
 14Now it was [the] preparation of the Passover; it was about sixth hour. And he saith to the Jews, Behold, your king.
 15They cried therefore, Away with [him], away with [him]; crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
 16Then therefore he delivered him up to them that he might be crucified. They took then Jesus [and led (him) away]; (John 19:12‑16)
• In this case Zedekiah, ever a weakling, succumbs to the demands of his ministers. He consents to the death of Jeremiah in words that well betray his impotency, but which, like Pilate’s, in no sense lessen his guilt. (“Chapter 21” by H.A. Ironside)
