2 Kings 11:5-10

5And he commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: 1a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep watch over the king’s house 6(a third also shall be at the gate Sur, and a third at the gate behind the 2guards), 3shall keep watch over the house 4for defense. 7And two parts of you, all who go out on the Sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house of the Lord for the king. 8Then you shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within the ranks shall be put to death. And 5you are to be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”

9So the captains of hundreds 6acted in accordance with everything that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the Sabbath, along with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest. 10Then 7the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the house of the Lord.
