¹¹ then an ^(A)oath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good.

⁷ But the king spared ^(A)Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of ^(B)the Lord’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

²⁴ All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, ^(A)submitted^[a] themselves to King Solomon.

¹⁸ Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact ^(A)gave^[a] his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.’ ”

⁵ Therefore ^(A)you must be subject, not only because of wrath ^(B)but also for conscience’ sake.
