"This verse is evidently deficient. The LXX. have [kyrios ho Theos Israel oiden] ""The LORD God of Israel doth know;"" the Syraic and Arabic, ""The LORD God of Israel is witness;"" either of which makes good sense. But two of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. supply the word chai, ""liveth;"" and the text reads thus: ""As the LORD God of Israel liveth, when I have sounded my father,--if there be good unto David, and I then send not unto thee,"" etc.; which is a still better sense. Jos 22:22; Job 31:4; Psa 17:3; Psa 139:1-4" |
