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 Então ele deu aos líderes dos batalhões de cem as lanças e os escudos que haviam pertencido ao rei Davi e que estavam no templo do SENHOR.

11 Os guardas, todos armados, posicionaram-se em volta do rei, junto do altar e em torno do templo, desde o lado sul até o lado norte do templo.

12 Depois Joiada trouxe para fora Joás, o filho do rei, colocou nele a coroa e lhe entregou uma cópia da aliança. Então o proclamaram rei, ungindo-o, e o povo aplaudia e gritava: “Viva o rei!”

13 Quando Atalia ouviu o barulho dos guardas e do povo, foi ao templo do SENHOR, onde estava o povo,

14 e onde ela viu o rei, em pé junto à coluna, conforme o costume. Os oficiais e os tocadores de corneta estavam ao lado do rei, e todo o povo se alegrava ao som das cornetas. Então Atalia rasgou suas vestes e gritou: “Traição! Traição!”
