2 Chronicles 23:1-11

11Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 strengthenedH2388 himself, and tookH3947 captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967: AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of JohananH3076, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ObedH5744, MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of AdaiahH5718, and ElishaphatH478 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, and they entered into a covenantH1285 with him. 2They wentH5437 throughoutH5437 JudahH3063 and gatheredH6908 the LevitesH3881 from allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the headsH7218 of the fathers’H1 households of 2IsraelH3478, and they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 3Then allH3605 the assemblyH6951 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the kingH4428 in the houseH1004 of GodH430. And 3Jehoiada saidH559 to them, “BeholdH2009, the king’sH4428 sonH1121 shall reignH4427, 4as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 concerningH5921 the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732. 4ThisH2088 is the thingH1697 whichH834 you shall doH6213: one thirdH7992 of you, of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 5who comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, shall be gatekeepersH7778H5592, 5and one thirdH7992 shall be at the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and a thirdH7992 at the GateH8179 of the FoundationH3247; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 shall be in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 6But let noH408 one enterH935 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 exceptH3588H518 the priestsH3548 and 6the ministeringH8334 LevitesH3881; they may enterH935, for they are holyH6944. And let allH3605 the peopleH5971 keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the LordH3068. 7The LevitesH3881 will surroundH5362H5439 the kingH4428, eachH376 manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whoever entersH935 the houseH1004, let him be killedH4191. Thus be with the kingH4428 when he comesH935 in and when he goesH3318 out.”

8So the LevitesH3881 and allH3605 JudahH3063 didH6213 according to allH3605 that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680. And eachH376 oneH376 of them tookH3947 his menH376 who were to comeH935 in on the sabbathH7676, with those who were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676, for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 did not dismissH6362 any of 7the divisionsH4256. 9Then JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 gaveH5414 to the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 the spearsH2595 and the largeH4043 and smallH7982 shieldsH7982 whichH834 had been KingH4428 David’sH1732, whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of GodH430. 10He stationedH5975 allH3605 the peopleH5971, eachH376 manH376 with his weaponH7973 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 8sideH3802 of the houseH1004 to the leftH8042 9sideH3802 of the houseH1004, by the altarH4196 and by the houseH1004, aroundH5439 the kingH4428. 11Then they broughtH3318 out the king’sH4428 sonH1121 and putH5414 the crownH5145 on him, and gave him 10the testimonyH5715 and madeH4427 him kingH4427. And JehoiadaH3077 and his sonsH1121 anointedH4886 him and saidH559, “11Long liveH2421 the kingH4428!”
