Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) By the life of Pharaoh.--It was common in ancient times to swear by the king's life (see 1Samuel 17:55; 2Samuel 14:19 ), and even by the life of Jehovah (2Samuel 15:21; 2Kings 2:2; 2Kings 2:4; 2Kings 2:6). It is only in the stricter morality of the Gospel that such oaths are forbidden (Matthew 5:33-37). . . .
