2 Kings 11:7-11
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 1you are to be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”
9So the captains of hundreds 2acted 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 3the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the house of the Lord. 11The 4guards stood, each with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.
