Ziegler -- Narrative Use of the Oath Formula כה יעשה /Y. Ziegler -- Chapter Three. כה יעשה . . . וכה יוסיף /Y. Ziegler -- Narrative Use of the Oath formula ‘ חי ה /Y. Ziegler -- Chapter Four. חי ה’ /Y. Ziegler -- Narrative Use of the Expression חלילה /Y. Ziegler -- Chapter Five. חלילה /Y. Ziegler -- Chapter Six. The deterioration of Saul /Y. Ziegler -- Oaths taken in regard to David’s career /Y. Ziegler -- Chapter Seven. David: Portrayal of power /Y. Ziegler -- Chapter Eight. Conclusion /Y. Ziegler -- Bibliography /Y. Ziegler -- Index of biblical sources /Y. Ziegler -- Index of topics and names /Y. Ziegler. While many studies explore the literary role of the oath in general literature, none have contended with the role of the oath in the biblical narratives. This study seeks to fill that vacuum. The first section of this study examines the literary significance of the various oath formulae that appear in biblical narratives, focusing on anomalous formulations of the respective oath formulae. The second section of this study explores the narratives surrounding two characters, Saul and David, both of whom frequently engage in oath-making. The oaths taken by, to and about these characters mirror the narrative itself, and function as a prism through which the character’s career is refracted. This study demonstrates that by perceiving the oath as a literary device for plot and character development, additional or more precise meanings may be revealed in the biblical stories
