As you know banners, in the Bible standards or flags were set up to distinguish tribes. There is no record of ‘pledges’, but they were used during battle to give troops encouragement and a focal point.
Numbers 1:52 (NKJV)

When God is our victory banner (Yehovah Nissi) He is our encouragement and focal point from one victory to another.
Psalm 20:5 (NKJV)
5 We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

Exodus 17:15 (NJKV)

Whenever you need encouragement, or to rally people together for a Godly cause, call on the symbolic name of God that specifically refers to that aspect of His character…and always let your first allegiance be to Him.
BE BLESSTIFIED!
