Chapter 9 states what has been learned through the reading of
the law: all the history of the peoples’ ups and downs in accordance with
whether they stayed with God or were disobedient to Him.
Now they were ready to sign the covenant in renewal of their
contract with God first made between Israel and the Lord at Sinai (Ex. 24), and
renewed by Hezekiah (II Chron. 15.12) and Josiah (II Chron. 34:30-33).
Actually, the princes, Levites, and priests sealed the covenant.
