Context of 2 Chronicles 23:10
8So the commanders of hundreds did everything the priest Jehoiada commanded. They each brought their men — those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty on the Sabbath — for the priest Jehoiada did not release the divisions. 9The priest Jehoiada gave to the commanders of hundreds King David’s spears, shields, and quivers that were in God’s temple. Then he stationed all the troops with their weapons in hand surrounding the king — from the right side of the temple to the left side, by the altar and by the temple. 11They brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the testimony, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and cried, “Long live the king!” 12When Athaliah heard the noise from the troops, the guards, and those praising the king, she went to the troops in the Lord’s temple.
