On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In the Kings it is said that Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord, the people, and the king, 2 Kings xi. Here it is said to be between himself, the people, and the king; for he, as God's priest, was his representative in this transaction, or a sort of mediator, as Moses was.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The continuance of David's seed and throne was what God had sworn by his holiness ( Ps. lxxxix. 35 ), and an interruption was no defeasance; the stream of government here runs again in the right channel. The instrument and chief manager of the restoration is Jehoiada, who appears to have been, 1.
