Commentary for II Kings 11:17
וַיִּכְרֹ֨ת יְהוֹיָדָ֜ע אֶֽת־הַבְּרִ֗ית בֵּ֤ין יְהוָה֙ וּבֵ֤ין הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וּבֵ֣ין הָעָ֔ם לִהְי֥וֹת לְעָ֖ם לַֽיהוָ֑ה וּבֵ֥ין הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וּבֵ֥ין הָעָֽם׃
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’S people; between the king also and the people.
Rashi on II Kings
Between Adonoy and between the king and the people. That the king and the people will follow Adonoy,22And that they uproot all the idolatry that had become pervasive at the time. and afterwards [he enacted a covenant] between the king and the people that they should be subservient to the king.23And in return the king will wage wars for the people.—Metzudas Dovid
