Here the two curses, merging, strip the king of what reason remained. It is telling that a word "twice pronounced" gains redoubled force: repeated from different mouths, it becomes irresistible. Here is shown the fearsome power of a curse's word, which grows with repetition. So the scripture shows that a chain of hasty curses, laid down in anger, plunges a man into utter darkness; and the king, who until now had struggled, is now wholly in the grip of evil.
