Exegesis
The oath clause introduced by ba-YHWH nishba‘ti {בַּיהוָה נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי | bə-y(h)ō-wāh nīš-baʿ-tî} ‘by the LORD I have sworn’ underscores divine-backed authority.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:7
And now, arise, go out, and speak to the heart of your servants, for by the LORD I have sworn. Surely if you do not go out, no man will stay with you tonight; and this will be worse for you than all the calamity that has come upon you from your youth until now.
