Proverbs 6:16-19: "Six things the Lord hates, seven abominable things to him: haughty eyes, lying tongue, hands that spill innocent blood, heart that traces wicked plans, feet that hurry to do evil, false witness that It utters lies and sows stringes between brothers. " The Seba Rebellion in 2 Samuel 20 involves many of these abominable sins that the Lord hates, including lies, violence, and strife between siblings.

1 John 4:20: "If anyone says, 'I love God,' and hate his brother, he is a liar. For those who do not love his brother, whom he saw, cannot love God, whom he has not seen."
