Rashi
כל ימי יהוידע. ובמלכים (ב' י"ב) כתיב כל ימיו אשר הורהו הכהן אבל לאחר שמת אז באו שרי המלך להשתחוות לו לעשותו קדש ובמדרש מפורש לפי שנטמן בבית קדש הקדשים ולא הוזק אמרו כדי אתה להיות אלוה:
all the days of Jehoiada And in II Kings (12:3) it is written: “all his days, [he did] that which Jehoiada the priest instructed him,” but after he died, the officers of the king came to prostrate themselves to him and to deify him (below verse 17). In the midrash (Exod. Rabbah 8:2, Tan. Buber, Va’era) it is explained that, because he hid in the Holy of Holies and was not harmed, they said, “You are fit to be a god.”
ברית בינו ובין כל העם ובין המלך. שיהו כולם המלך והעם אחרי ה':
between himself and all the people and the king that all of them, the king and the people, should follow the Lord.
