2 Kings 11:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

15 Then Jehoiada the priest instructed the captains in command of the force: “Escort her with a guard detail. If anyone follows her, let him die by the sword.” For the priest had said, “She must not die in the house of the Lord.” 16 So they seized her, and when she reached the Horse Gate of the king’s house, she was put to death.

17 (A)Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people,[a] by which they would be the Lord’s people; and another between the king and the people.

Footnotes

  1. 11:17 There are two covenants. One is between the Lord as one party and the people, headed by the king, as the other. The second covenant, between king and people, is comparable to that made between David and the elders of Israel at Hebron (2 Sm 5:3).
