] Whom Jacob called so, ( 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, ( Genesis 28:17 Genesis 28:20 Genesis 28:21 ) ; 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 ( Psalms 119:106 ) ; of the Messiah's swearing, though upon another account, to whom this may be applied, see ( Isaiah 45:23 ) ( Revelation 10:1 Revelation 10:2 Revelation 10:5 Revelation 10:6 ) .

Psalm 132:2 In-Context

1 32 (Shir HaMa’alot) Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;

2 How he swore unto Hashem, and vowed unto Avir Ya’akov (the Mighty One of Ya’akov);

3 Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais, nor go up into my bed;

4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,

5 Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem, even mishkanot for the Avir Ya’akov.
