How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob. Whom Jacob called so,
Gen 49:24
; and to whom he vowed a vow, and is the first we read of that did make one, and it was concerning the house of God,
Gen 28:17
; and who had an experience of the might and power of God in protecting and defending him from his brother Esau: of this oath and vow of David no mention is made elsewhere, but no doubt they were made; see
Psa 119:106
; of the Messiah's swearing, though upon another account, to whom this may be applied, see
Isa 45:23
.
