| "As the Lord liveth" was the most common form of oath among the Israelites (e. g. Jdg 8:19; Sa1 14:39; Sa1 19:6). It was unique to David to attach a further clause to this oath - a clause of thankfulness for some special mercy Sa1 25:34, or for God's constant protection of him (here and in Sa2 4:9). |
