The Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood is found in Doctrine and Covenants 84:33-42. It is a set of promises between God and those men who receive the Melchizedek Priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

As part of the Oath and Covenant, those who receive the Melchizedek Priesthood are obligated to serve God and the Church and to use their priesthood to bless others. Those who obey the Oath and Covenant will receive the strength they need to perform their labor for God and will be welcomed into the Celestial Kingdom to become Priests and Kings and Sons of God. Those who break the covenant will have no forgiveness of sins in this world or in the world to come.

What was the covenant between God and David?

The terms of this covenant were that a son from David's line would possess the throne forever, and that this son would build a house for Jehovah's name. God's purpose in this covenant was to provide a kingly dynasty for the Jews; to give Jesus, as David's heir, the legal right to the throne of David, "Jehovah's throne" (1Chronicle 29:23; Luke 1:32); and to provide identification for Jesus as the Messiah. (Ezekiel 21:25-27; Matthew 1:6-16; Luke 3:23-31) This covenant included no priesthood; the Levitical priesthood served in conjunction with kings of David's line; priesthood and kingship were strictly separate under the Law. Since Jehovah acknowledges this kingship and works through it forever, the covenant has everlasting duration. (Isaiah 9:7; 2Peter 1:11)
