1 Samuel 23:23. Nehemiah 4:17-19. (E-compiler's note: these references may be mistakes as they do not seem to correspond with the point being made at this place[?]. The only Scripture found upon performing a search which mentions ‘the law being cast behind the back’ was: Nehemiah 9:26 [see below].)
1 Samuel 23:23
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
Nehemiah 4:17-19
17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. {by his side: Heb. on his loins}
19 And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
Nehemiah 9:26
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
