Psalms 132:2. How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
Jacob was the great maker of vows; and you will remember also that Jacob, on his dying bed, made mention of "the mighty God of Jacob." David in this Psalm imitated his forefathers; he made a solemn vow to the Lord that he would build a house for God, even as Jacob did when he said, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, so that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God: and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house."
