not meet . . . as a man—rather, "I will not meet a man," that is, suffer man to intercede with me—give man an audience [HORSLEY]. Or, "I will not make peace with any man," before all are destroyed. Literally, "strike a league with"; a phrase arising from the custom of striking hands together in making a compact [MAURER], (see on Proverbs 17:18; Proverbs 22:26; Proverbs 11:15, Margin). Or else from striking the victims sacrificed in making treaties.
