A Sacred Covenant, whereby he solemnly ingaged both the King, and People, as it here follows, that they should be the Lords people; i. e. That they should renounce, and root out all Idolatry, and set up and maintain God's True Worship. Comp. 2 King. 23. 10.
This was a Civil Covenant, whereby the King engaged himself to Rule them justly, and in the fear of God; and the People obliged themselves to Defend and Obey him. Comp. 2 Sam. 5. 3.
