Exegesis
The term ʿavdeḵa {עַבְדְּךָ֔ | ʿavdeḵa} signals humble self-reference, while the prepositional chain bə-šivtî {בְּשִׁבְתִּ֥י | bə-šivtî}, bigšūr {בִגְשׁ֛וּר | bigšūr}, and ba-ʾăram {בַּאֲרָ֖ם | ba-ʾăram} situates the vow in geographic exile.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:8
“For your servant made a vow while I was living in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
