RENEWAL OF THE THEOCRATIC COVENANT AND ABOLITION OF BAAL-WORSHIP

(2Chronicles 23:16-21).

(16) A covenant between . . . the king.--A slight but characteristic variation from 2Kings 11:17 : "the covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should become a people for Jehovah."

Between him.--Or rather, himself. The high priest is thus regarded as representing Jehovah in the transaction; and the apparent irreverence of making the Deity a direct co-partner with men in a compact is avoided.

Be the Lord's people.--Literally, become a people for Jehovah. Kings adds: "and between the king and the people," a not unimportant clause, for it relates to certain limitations of the royal prerogative, which were usually agreed upon at the beginning of a reign (2Samuel 3:21; 2Samuel 5:3; 1Samuel 10:25). . . .

Verse 16. - Between him. The Revised Version reads "himself," which is the evident meaning. The parallel leaves out, however, mention of Jehoiada as party to the covenant, viewing him rather as the promoter of it.
