Exegesis
The construct chain chatat-kesem {חַטַּאת־קֶסֶם | ḥaṭ-ṭāṯ-qé-sem} ‘sin of divination’ is equated to meri {מֶרִי | mé-rî} ‘rebellion’, while the pairing of aven {אָוֶן | ʼā-vēn} ‘iniquity’ with the substantive ha-petsar {הַפְצַר | ha-pə-ṣar} ‘stubbornness’ echoes the inclusion of the cultic term teraphim {תְּרָפִים | tə-rā-pîm} ‘household idols’.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and stubbornness is like iniquity and teraphim . Because you have rejected the word of the LORD , He has rejected you from being king.
