Exegesis
The Hiphil participle hašbēa‘ {הַשְׁבֵּעַ | hašbēa‘} ‘solemnly swearing’ and the Hiphil perfect hišbiya‘ {הִשְׁבִּ֨יעַ | hišbiya‘} ‘he made swear’ create an intensified oath formula.
In context — 1 Samuel 14:28
Then a man from the people answered and said, “Your father made the people solemnly swear, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats bread today.’” And the people became faint.
