2 Samuel 19:23

Verse 23. Die, during my life, ( Menochius.) or by my hand, without some farther transgression. Hence the oath is worded, I will not kill thee with the sword. 3 Kennicott. 2:8. Bible.—Solomon was charged not to let his crime pass unpunished. But he did not kill him till he had shewed his disobedience. Calmet.—The oaths of parents do not always ( Bible.) pertain to their heirs. Grotius.
