Throughout the Old Testament we find it said that the misfortunes of the Israelites arose from their believing in false gods, and not in the true God. In the eighth and twelfth chapters of the first Book of Samuel, the prophet accuses the people of having chosen, instead of God, who was their King, a human king who, according to their opinion, was to save them. ‘Do not believe in [tohu[2]] vain things,’ says Samuel to the people (1Sa.12:21). ‘They will not help you and will not save you, for they are [tohu] vain. In order not to perish with your king, believe in God alone.’
