'Sin' in the Bible

Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord, for the men despised the offering of the Lord.

Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.

Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter it here and eat; and do not sin against the Lord by eating with the blood.’” So all the people that night brought each one his ox with him and slaughtered it there.

Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and investigate and see how this sin has happened today.

“For rebellion is as the sin of divination,And insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry.Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,He has also rejected you from being king.”

Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship the Lord.”

Then Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David, since he has not sinned against you, and since his deeds have been very beneficial to you.

For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?”

Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?”
