1 SAMUEL 25:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.”
'God do so to the enemies of David and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light anything that urinates against a wall' — David invokes a solemn oath in his anger, employing the crude anatomical reference ('kol-hayyissᵉtî qîr', literally 'all who urinate against a wall') to intensify the vow of total annihilation. The oath formula 'kô-yaʿaśeh lî ʾelohîm vᵉkô-yôseph' binds him to complete slaughter.
