They are summoned to salute Jehovah, as a new king was saluted on his accession, with clapping of hands (2 Kings 11:12) and shouting (1 Samuel 10:24). Cp. Numbers 23:21, where "the shout of a king" means the shout with which Israel celebrates the Presence of Jehovah in its midst as a victorious king.
