2 Kings 23:3

3And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.
23:3 The king stood upon the step: That is, his tribune, or tribunal, a more eminent place, from whence he might be seen and heard by the people.(Challoner)
