2 KINGS 11:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.”
Then he brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; they proclaimed him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands and said, 'Long live the king!' — the coronation ritual (crown, covenant, anointing) establishes Joash's legitimacy. The clapping and acclamation affirm popular consent.
