 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).
