(32) And he caused . . . stand to it.--Kings, "and all the people stood into (i.e., came into) the covenant." So Syriac: "And everyone that was found in Jerusalem and in Benjamin rose, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem entered into the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers." (The chronicler's reading may be accounted for by the fact that the verbs "he stood and" he caused to stand "differ only in the vowels, which anciently were not written at all. "All that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin" is an unusual phrase; and it is likely that "and Benjamin" is really a corruption of "into the covenant" which is required by the context here as much as in Kings.)

And the inhabitants . . . fathers--i.e., after they had thus solemnly taken it upon them to do so. The statement is not read in Kings.

Verse 32. - Some think the text here corrupt, both for the presence of the words, and in Benjamin, and the absence of the words, "in the covenant." Their case, however, is scarcely conclusive (see 2 Kings 23:3).
