Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

1 Samuel 4:21

וַתִּקְרָא לַנַּעַר אִֽי-כָבוֹד לֵאמֹר גָּלָה כָבוֹד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הִלָּקַח אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאֶל-חָמִיהָ וְאִישָֽׁהּ׃
21
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

1 Kings 12:16

וַיַּרְא כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לֹֽא-שָׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲלֵהֶם וַיָּשִׁבוּ הָעָם אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ׀ דָּבָר׀ לֵאמֹר מַה-לָּנוּ חֵלֶק בְּדָוִד וְלֹֽא-נַחֲלָה בְּבֶן-יִשַׁי לְאֹֽהָלֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל עַתָּה רְאֵה בֵֽיתְךָ דָּוִד וַיֵּלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֹֽהָלָֽיו׃
16
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

Daniel 7:20

וְעַל-קַרְנַיָּא עֲשַׂר דִּי בְרֵאשַׁהּ וְאָחֳרִי דִּי סִלְקַת ‫(ונפלו)‬ וּנְפַלָה מִן-‫(קדמיה)‬ קֳדָמַהּ תְּלָת וְקַרְנָא דִכֵּן וְעַיְנִין לַהּ וְפֻם מְמַלִּל רַבְרְבָן וְחֶזְוַהּ רַב מִן-חַבְרָתַֽהּ׃
20
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

1 Kings 14:25

3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
