SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

disobedient

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
Rationale'An unpersuadable man' is lexically possible but the context (contrast of obedience/disobedience to a heavenly vision) and the common sense favor 'disobedient'; P2 switches to 'disobedient' as the clear contextual meaning.
