2 Chronicles 23:11

23:11 Jehoiada and his sons led out the king’s son and placed on him the crown and the royal insignia. ⁴  They proclaimed him king and poured olive oil on his head. ⁵  They declared, “Long live the king!”

[14:5]  ¹ tn Heb “before him.”

[14:2]  ² tn Heb “and Asa did the good and the right in the eyes of the Lord his God.”

[23:5]  ³ tn Heb “all the people.”

[23:11]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain (see the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings [AB], 128). Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant (see HALOT 790-91 s.v.).

[23:11]  ⁵ tn Or “they made him king and anointed him.”
