On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

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.

They brought the king in state to his own palace, and set him upon the throne of the kingdom, to give law, and give judgment, either in his own person or by Jehoiada his tutor. Thus was this happy revolution perfected.
