Commentary

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 23:16

Theological / Devotional

Made a covenant. Verses 16-21, dealing with the renewal of the covenant with Jehovah, the abolition of the worship of Baal, and the setting of the king upon his throne are parallel with 2 Kings 11:17-20.

Between him. The parallel passage reads, “between the Lord” (2 Kings 11:17). In this instance Jehoiada represented the Lord, for the covenant that was made was between the Lord on the one side and the king and the people on the other.

There was also a covenant between king and people (see on 2 Kings 11:17).
