treacherously

In Jewish tradition

Acting in a way that breaks faith, especially breaking the covenant with God or betraying a person or neighbor.

Interpretation. The prophets repeat it to stress how deep the betrayal went. It is often tied to the idea of marriage, where Israel is a faithless wife to God. In the primary lessons: in tales a king is treacherously put to death by someone who pretended to be a friend.
