2 Reis 11:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 11:12

And he brought forth the king's son
Out of the apartment in the temple where he had been brought up:

and put the crown upon him;
the crown royal, which seems to have been kept in the temple:

and gave him the testimony;
the book of the law, which he was to read in all his days, and according to it govern the people; and which was a testimony of the will of God both to him and them: Kimchi and Ben Melech interpret it of royal garments put upon him:

and they made him king, and anointed him;
proclaimed and declared him king, and anointed him, for the confirmation of it, because of the pretension Athaliah made to the kingdom; otherwise, as the Jewish writers say, the son of a king was not anointed; and hence, they say, it was, that Solomon was anointed, because of the claim of Adonijah:

and they clapped their hands;
in token of joy:

and said, God save the king;
or, "let the king live"; or, "may he prosper", as the Targum; may health and prosperity attend him in his government. In ( 2 Chronicles 23:11 ) , it is said; "Jehoiada and his sons anointed him", and said those words; among whom must be Zechariah, whom this king afterwards slew, which was an instance of great ingratitude, ( 2 Chronicles 24:20-22 ) .

2 Reis 11:12 In-Context

10 O sacerdote entregou aos centuriões as lanças e os escudos que haviam sido do rei Davi, e que estavam na casa do Senhor.

11 E os da guarda, cada um com as armas na mão, se puseram em volta do rei, desde o lado direito da casa até o lado esquerdo, ao longo do altar e da casa.

12 Então Jeoiada lhes apresentou o filho do rei, pôs-lhe a coroa, e lhe deu o testemunho; e o fizeram rei e o ungiram e, batendo palmas, clamaram: Viva o rei!

13 Quando Atalia ouviu o vozerio da guarda e do povo, foi ter com o povo na casa do Senhor;

14 e olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto � coluna, conforme o costume, e os capitães e os trombeteiros junto ao rei; e todo o povo da terra se alegrava e tocava trombetas. Então Atalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição! Traição!
