Abraham made a covenant* with God (Genesis ch.15 and 17), but it is not explicitly stated that he promised anything. Things that Abraham did verbally undertake (or promise) included:
- He said that he would journey in the direction opposite to the one which Lot would choose (Genesis ch.13).
- He stated to Bera, the king of Sodom, that he would take none of the Sodomite spoils of battle, which he had recovered for them (Genesis ch.14).
- He swore an oath of non-aggression to the Philistine king Abimelech (Genesis ch.21).
- He told his servant that God would be with him in his search for a wife for Isaac (Genesis 24:7).
All of the above could be considered promises.
See also 18:5, 22:5, 23:13, and 24:3 (none of which, however, are best described as promises on his part).
