Constitutional: It was provided in the law of Moses that In the event of the establishment of a monarchy a copy of the law of Moses should be made and that the king should be enJoined to study this law all the days of his life and conform his administration thereto, Deut. 17:18-20. This constituted the fundamental law and had Its likeness to the constitution of modern governments. When David was crowned king of all Israel he made a league in the nature of a constitution which was a basis of good understanding between himself and the people, 2 Sam. 5:3. When Joash was enthroned a covenant, which must have been in the nature of a limitation of monarchical power, was made between him and the people, 2 Chr. 23:3, 11. In v. 11 this covenant is called a "testimony" and, no doubt, refers to the law of Moses, Deut. 17: 18-20, which, It is quite probable, had been preserved sacredly by Jeholada, the priest. Zedeklah made a covenant with the people proclaiming liberty, Jer. 34:8-11.
