adjuration
n
:
a
solemn
and
earnest
appeal
to
someone
to
do
something
From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Adjuration
a
solemn
appeal
whereby
one
person
imposes
on
another
the
obligation
of
speaking
or
acting
as
if
under
an
oath
(1
Sam
.
14:24;
Josh
. 6:26; 1
Kings
22:16).
We
have
in
the
New
Testament
a
striking
example
of
this
(
Matt
.
26:63;
Mark
5:7),
where
the
high
priest
calls
upon
Christ
to
avow
his
true
character
.
It
would
seem
that
in
such
a
case
the
person
so
adjured
could
not
refuse
to
give
an
answer
.
The
word
"
adjure
", i.e.,
cause
to
swear
is
used
with
reference
to
the
casting
out
of
demons
(
Acts
19:13).
