Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord God of Israel, etc.] And so owns and confirms the truth of what Nathan had suggested to Bathsheba, and she had asserted, (<110113>1 Kings 1:13,17); saying, assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; this was the substance of the oath: even so will I certainly do this day; perform this oath, and set Solomon on the throne.
