B. Covenant with the king and the people
"He also made a covenant between the king and the people. "
The king and the people still needs to be informed separately. As long as Jehoiada is alive, the covenant was strong because it's based on man's reliability not the LORD's
Jehoiada, the high priest was the one who led the people to fear the LORD not King Joash.
2 Chronicles 24:17 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
But after Jehoiada’s death, the leaders of Judah came and bowed before King Joash and persuaded him to listen to their advice.
King Joash with Jehoiada's influence, made reforms, removed idolatries in Israel, rebuilt the temple. Jehoiada is a type of CHRIST because aside from taking care of the spiritual needs of the people, he manage the political affairs of the kingdom, just like CHRIST although CHRIST is much superior, because CHRIST is King of kings, LORD of lords, our Perfect High Priest.
