Precisely because they claimed to be chosen by God.

Most kings are killed by or under the authority of close relatives (brother, son cousin...) for succession issues.
Religious observance has often be used as an excuse.

When people kill a king, it's usually for religious reasons: either the king faith doesn't fit everyone beliefs in the country (how could it when there is more than one religion in the country) or because the king personifies the religious oppression the people want to get rid of.
