Exegesis
The interrogation halo {הֲלוֹא} anticipates a rhetorical affirmation, linking atzmi veuvsari {עַצְמִי וּבְשָׂרִי} “my bone and my flesh” in a Hebraic merism for close family.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:13
And to Amasa you shall say, “Are you not my bone and my flesh ? Thus may God do to me, and thus may He add, if you do not become commander of the army in place of Joab before me all the days.”
