Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 23:11

_ _ Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony — Some think that the original word rendered “testimony,” as its derivation warrants, may signify here the regalia, especially the bracelet (2 Samuel 1:10); and this view they support on the ground that “gave him” being supplemented, the text properly runs thus, “put upon him the crown and testimony.” At the same time, it seems equally pertinent to take “the testimony” in the usual acceptation of that term; and, accordingly, many are of opinion that a roll containing a copy of the law (Deuteronomy 17:18) was placed in the king’s hands, which he held as a scepter or truncheon. Others, referring to a custom of Oriental people, who when receiving a letter or document from a highly respected quarter, lift it up to their heads before opening it, consider that Joash, besides the crown, had the book of the law laid upon his head (see Job 31:35, Job 31:36).

_ _ God save the king — literally, “Long live the king.”
