20:3 Taking an oath, David again said, “Your father is very much aware of the fact that I have found favor with you, and he has thought, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know about this, or he will be upset.’ But as surely as the Lord lives and you live, there is about one step between me and death!”

Isaiah 65:16
65:16 Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth
will do so in the name of the faithful God;
whoever makes an oath in the earth
will do so in the name of the faithful God.
For past problems will be forgotten;
I will no longer think about them.
Jeremiah 12:16
12:16 But they must make sure you learn to follow the religious practices of my people.
Once they taught my people to swear their oaths using the name of the god Baal.
But then, they must swear oaths using my name, saying, “As surely as the
Lord lives, I swear.”
If they do these things,
then they will be included among the people I call my own.
