1 Chronicles 11:19 - The Pulpit Commentary

1 Chronicles 11:19 -

My God forbid it me. Compare the Hebrew of this with that of the expression in the parallel ( 2 Samuel 23:17 ), where יְהֹוָה is found in the place of our מֵאֱלֹהַי . It is probable that the preposition nieni is lost from before "Jehovah." Shall I drink the blood, etc.? i.e. the water which has been obtained at the imminent peril of the life of these three brave men (comp. Genesis 4:10 , Genesis 4:11 ; Genesis 9:4-6 ; John 6:53 , John 6:54 ).
