2 Chronicles 23:1-10

1And in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 strengthenedH2388 himself, and tookH3947 the captains of the 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 togetherH6908 the LevitesH3881 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of IsraelH3478; and they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.

3And all the congregation madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the kingH4428 in the houseH1004 of 1GodH430. And he saidH559 to them, Behold, the king's sonH1121 shall reignH4427, as Jehovah has saidH559 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732.

4This is the thingH1697 which ye shall do: a thirdH7992 part of you that comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, of the priestsH3548 and of the LevitesH3881, shall be keepers of the doors;

5and a thirdH7992 partH7992 shall be at the king's 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 except the priestsH3548 and those of the LevitesH3881 that do the service; they shall goH935 in, for they are holyH6944; but all the peopleH5971 shall keepH8104 the watchH8104 of Jehovah.

7And the LevitesH3881 shall encompass the kingH4428 roundH5439 about, every manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and he that comesH935 into the houseH1004 shall beH1961 putH4191 to deathH4191; and ye shall beH1961 with the kingH4428 when he comesH935 in and when he goesH3318 out.

8And 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 them that were to goH3318 forthH3318 on the sabbathH7676; for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 did not liberate the divisionsH4256.

9And JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 gaveH5414 to the captains of the hundredsH3967 kingH4428 David's spearsH2595 and shieldsH4043 and targets, which were in the houseH1004 of 2GodH430.

10And he setH5975 all the peopleH5971, every manH376 with his javelin in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 to the left sideH3802 of the houseH1004, toward the altarH4196 and the houseH1004, by the kingH4428 roundH5439 about.
