Exegesis
The narrative resumes with the vav-consecutive Niphal imperfect in vayishava' {וַיִּשָּׁבַע | wayyiššāḇaʿ} ‘and he swore’, with the pronominal suffix lo {לוֹ | lō} marking the beneficiary. Repetition of hamelek reinforces royal authority, and the progression from declaration to oath underscores the formal ratification of the pardon.
