1 Kings 1:29
And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
And the king sware,.... To his former oath, he added another for greater confirmation:
and said, As the LORD liveth; which was the proper form of an oath, which ought to be taken by the living God; and as what would lay him under the greater obligation to observe it, he adds,
that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress; saved his life when in the most imminent danger; delivered him out of the hand of Goliath, and from the Philistines and other enemies, in his wars with them; and from Saul and his persecuting rage and fury, and from the rebellion of his son Absalom, and the insurrection of Sheba.
