1 Chronicles 29:24

²Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.

¹⁷David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

⁸Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

¹⁸For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He won’t escape.
