Exegesis
The terms beynōṭām {בֵּינֹתָם | beynōṭām}, beyn {בֵּין | beyn}, and ūbeyn {וּבֵין | ūbeyn} frame the covenantal relationship “between them, between David and Jonathan.” The English reconstructions preserve Hebrew emphasis by mirroring dual coordination and highlighting the oath’s central role in restraining the king.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:7
But the king spared Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of the LORD that was between them, between David and Jonathan, son of Saul.
