The renewal of the covenant, extirpation of Baal-worship, and the solemn entry of the king into his palace, as in Kg2 11:17-20, and already commented on in that place. The remark as to the renewal of the covenant is in Ch2 23:16 (Chron.) somewhat more brief than in Kg2 11:17; and בּינו, between himself, the same as between himself, the high priest, as representative of Jehovah. In Kg2 11:17, the matter is more clearly expressed. In Kg2 11:18., the statement, "the priest set overseers over the house of Jahve," is expanded by the addition of the words, "by means of the Levitic priests whom David had distributed for the house of Jahve to offer sacrifices;...and he placed doorkeepers at the doors of the house of Jahve," etc. The meaning is: Jehoiada again introduced the old arrangement of the public worship in the temple as David had settled it, it having either fallen into decay or wholly ceased under the rule of the idolatrous Athaliah. As to the remainder, see on Kg2 11:19 and Kg2 11:20. Next: 2 Chronicles Chapter 24
