2 Chronicles 23:1-10

1And in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 strengthenedH2388 himself, and tookH3947 the captains of hundredsH3967, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of JehohananH3076, and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ObedH5744, and MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of AdaiahH5718, and Elishaphat the sonH1121 of Zichri, into covenantH1285 with him. 2And they wentH935 about in JudahH3063, and gatheredH6908 the LevitesH3881 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the headsH7218 of fathers’H1housesof IsraelH3478, and they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 3And all the assemblyH6951 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the kingH4428 in the houseH1004 of GodH430. And he saidH559 unto them, Behold, the king’sH4428 sonH1121 shall reignH4427, as Jehovah hath spokenH1696 concerning the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732. 4This is the thingH1697 that ye shall do: a thirdH7992 part of you, that comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, of the priestsH3548 and of the LevitesH3881, shall be porters of the thresholdsH5592; 5and a thirdH7992 partH7992 shall be at the king’sH4428 houseH1004; and a thirdH7992 partH7992 at the gateH8179 of the foundationH3247: and all the peopleH5971 shall be in the courts of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 6But let none comeH935 into the houseH1004 of Jehovah, save the priestsH3548, and they that minister of the LevitesH3881; they shall comeH935 in, for they are holyH6944: but all the peopleH5971 shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of Jehovah. 7And the LevitesH3881 shall compass the kingH4428 roundH5439 about, every manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whosoever cometh into the houseH1004, let him beH1961 slain: and beH1961 ye with the kingH4428 when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

8So the LevitesH3881 and all JudahH3063 did according to all that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680: and they tookH3947 every manH376 his menH376, those that were to comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, with those that were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676; for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 dismissed not the courses. 9And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 delivered to the captains of hundredsH3967 the spearsH2595, and bucklers, and shieldsH4043, that had been kingH4428 David’s, which were in the houseH1004 of GodH430. 10And he setH5975 all the peopleH5971, every manH376 with his weaponH7973 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 to the left sideH3802 of the houseH1004, along by the altarH4196 and the houseH1004, by the kingH4428 roundH5439 about.
