# brought out the king's son Joash

Jehoiada brought king Ahaziah's son out from the temple apartment where he had been in hiding.

# gave him the covenant decrees

"presented him with the book of the law"

# anointed him

"poured some olive oil on Joash's head" 

# clapped their hands

A sign of the happiness of the people at the anointing of the new king.
