2 Kings 11:17

Context

11:17 Jehoiada then drew up a covenant between the Lord and the king and people, stipulating that they should be loyal to the Lord. 1 

2 Kings 18:6

Context
18:6 He was loyal to 2  the Lord and did not abandon him. 3  He obeyed the commandments which the Lord had given to 4  Moses.

1 tn Heb “and Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and [between] the king and [between] the people, to become a people for the Lord, and between the king and [between] the people.” The final words of the verse (“and between the king and [between] the people”) are probably accidentally repeated from earlier in the verse. They do not appear in the parallel account in 2 Chr 23:16. If retained, they probably point to an agreement governing how the king and people should relate to one another.

2 tn Heb “he hugged.”

3 tn Heb “and did not turn aside from after him.”

4 tn Heb “had commanded.”
