Exegesis
The construct chain beinenu b’shem YHWH {בֵּינֵינוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה | bēnēnû bᵊšēm YHWH} places divine authority at the center, while the repeated prepositional phrase uvein {וּבֵין | ūbēn} introduces a parallel structure pairing “me/you” and “your offspring/my offspring,” emphasizing an enduring intergenerational vow.
In context — 1 Samuel 20:42
And Jonathan said to David, “Peace to you, for we have sworn friendship between us in the name of the LORD , saying, ‘The LORD will be between me and you and between your descendants and between my descendants forever.’” Then David departed, and Jonathan returned to the city.
