Verse Explanation
Jehoiada brings out Joash, places the crown on him, gives him the testimony, and anoints him as king. The people clap, celebrate, and shout, "Long live the king!" The ceremony restores the rightful ruler and reestablishes the Davidic line.
History
The "testimony" likely refers to a copy of God's law given to the king as a reminder that he must rule under God's authority.
