How he sware unto the Lord, [and] vowed unto the mighty [God] of Jacob.] Whom Jacob called so, (<014924>Genesis 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, (<012817>Genesis 28:17,20,21); 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 <19B9106>Psalm 119:106); of the Messiah’s swearing, though upon another account, to whom this may be applied, (see <234523>Isaiah 45:23 <661001>Revelation 10:1,2,5,6).
