Barnes' Notes
"As the Lord liveth" was the most common form of oath among the Israelites (e. g. Judges 8:19; I Samuel 14:39; I Samuel 19:6). It was unique to David to attach a further clause to this oath - a clause of thankfulness for some special mercy I Samuel 25:34, or for God' s constant protection of him (here and in II Samuel 4:9).
