with their weapons in hand

on 2 Chronicles 23:10-11

Jehoiada and his sons “put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king”. The Testimony is the copy of the law a king was to keep under Deuteronomy 17:18-20, so crown and law come to him. They anoint him and shout, “Long live the king”.
