我若不照着耶和华起誓应许大卫的话行，废去扫罗的位，建立大卫的位，使他治理以色列和犹大，从但直到别是巴，愿神重重地降罚与我！”

愿上帝重重惩罚押尼珥！我要照着耶和华起誓应许大卫的话为他成就，

愿神重重惩罚押尼珥！我要照着耶和华起誓应许大卫的话为他成就，

倘若我不照着耶和华应许大卫的誓言把扫罗的江山夺过来交给大卫，让他统治全以色列和犹大，从但到别示巴，愿耶和华重重地惩罚我！”

我若不按着耶和华向大卫所起誓应许的去行：废去扫罗家的王国，建立大卫的王位，使他统治以色列和犹大，从但直到别是巴，愿神降罚押尼珥，重重地降罚他。”

我若不照着耶和華起誓應許大衛的話行，廢去掃羅的位，建立大衛的位，使他治理以色列和猶大，從但直到別是巴，願神重重地降罰與我！」

願上帝重重懲罰押尼珥！我要照着耶和華起誓應許大衛的話為他成就，

願神重重懲罰押尼珥！我要照着耶和華起誓應許大衛的話為他成就，

倘若我不照著耶和華應許大衛的誓言把掃羅的江山奪過來交給大衛，讓他統治全以色列和猶大，從但到別示巴，願耶和華重重地懲罰我！」

我若不按著耶和華向大衛所起誓應許的去行：廢去掃羅家的王國，建立大衛的王位，使他統治以色列和猶大，從但直到別是巴，願神降罰押尼珥，重重地降罰他。”

永恆主怎樣向大衛起誓，我若不怎樣向大衛行，而廢去掃羅家的國權，建立大衛的王位，使他管理以色列和猶大、從但直到別是巴，願上帝這樣地懲罰押尼珥，並且加重地懲罰。』

我如果不照著耶和華向大衛所起的誓為大衛去行——從掃羅家挪去王權，確立大衛的寶座，使他統治以色列和猶大，從但直到比爾-謝巴——就願神處置押尼珥，重重地處置他！」

耶和華曾與大衛誓、我必為大衛成其事、否則願上帝罰我維倍、

昔耶和華誓、移掃羅國祚、立大闢為王、治以色列族與猶大族、自但及別是巴、今我亦將助之、否、則願上帝降罰於我。

我押尼珥若不循主所誓於大衛者、為大衛而行、則願主從重罰我、

May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath

I will do for David what the Lord promised him. If I don’t, may God punish me greatly.

God do so to Abner and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the Lord has sworn to him,

May God strike me and even kill me if I don’t do everything I can to help David get what the Lord has promised him!

May God punish Abner and do so severely if I don’t do for David what the LORD swore to him:

May God do so to me, and more so, if as the Lord has sworn to David, I do not accomplish this for him:

May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as the Lord has sworn to him—

God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him;

May God punish Abner and do so severely if I don’t do for David what the Lord swore to him:

So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;

God will severely judge Abner if I do not do for David exactly what the LORD has promised him,

God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yahweh has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him;

Samuel said to him,“ The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors— to one better than you. (niv)

So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say,“ May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” (niv)

These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said: (niv)

Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” (niv)

The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors— to David. (niv)

Saul said,“ May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan.” (niv)

The Lord said to Samuel,“ How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”But Samuel said,“ How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” The Lord said,“ Take a heifer with you and say,‘ I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.”Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked,“ Do you come in peace?”Samuel replied,“ Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought,“ Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.”But the Lord said to Samuel,“ Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said,“ The Lord has not chosen this one either.”Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said,“ Nor has the Lord chosen this one.”Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him,“ The Lord has not chosen these.”So he asked Jesse,“ Are these all the sons you have?”“ There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered.“ He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said,“ Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the Lord said,“ Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah. (niv)

Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying,“ May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!” (niv)

And say to Amasa,‘ Are you not my own flesh and blood? May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you are not the commander of my army for life in place of Joab.’” (niv)

“ What was it he said to you?” Eli asked.“ Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.” (niv)

Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (niv)

You said,“ I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant,‘ I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.’” (niv)

May God deal with David, be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!” (niv)
