2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 11:17 Jehoiada. See notes on 2 Chron. 23:1–24:27; 23:3. The king and people once more identify themselves as the LORD’s people (compare Joshua 24:1; 2 Kings 23:1). At the same time, a covenant is made between the king and the people (compare 2 Samuel 5:1). After several years of bad leadership, they are redefining kingship in distinctively Israelite terms.
