1 Samuel3:17
17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also , if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
God inflict the same Evils upon thee, which I suspect he hath pronounced against me, and greater Evils too. Or, God do so, i. e. let God deal with thee so severely, as I cannot or am loath to express. So it is a kind of Aposiopesis usual in Oaths, and in Adjurations. The same Phrase is in Ruth 1. 17. Thus he adjures him to utter the whole truth, as was usual among the Hebrews, as 1 King. 22. 16. Matth. 26. 63.
Marginal references: Heb. [illegible: 1+ letters]o add; Or, word.
