Exegesis
The verse opens with the narrative marker vayikrot {וַיִּכְרֹת | váy·yi·k·rōṯ}, a vav consecutive + Qal imperfect linking covenant formation to the preceding account.
In context — 2 Chronicles 23:3
In the house of God the whole assembly entered a covenant with the king, and Jehoiada said to them, “Look—this is the king’s son; he will reign, just as the LORD spoke concerning the sons of David.”
