2 Chronicles 23:1-10

11Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, JehoiadaH3077 gatheredH2388 his courageH2388, 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. 2And they 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: a thirdH7992 of you, of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 5who comeH935 inH935 on the SabbathH7676, shall be gatekeepersH7778H5592, 5and a 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 courtyardsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 6But noH408 one is to enterH935 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 exceptH3588H518 the priestsH3548 and 6the ministeringH8334 LevitesH3881; they may enterH935, for they are holyH6944. And allH3605 the peopleH5971 are to keepH8104 the commandH4931 of the LordH3068. 7The LevitesH3881 will surroundH5362H5439 the kingH4428, eachH376 manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whoever entersH935 the houseH1004 is to be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. Therefore be with the kingH4428 when he comesH935 inH935 and when he goesH3318 outH3318.”

8The 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 inH935 on the SabbathH7676, with those who were to goH3318 outH3318 on the SabbathH7676, for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 did not dismissH6362 any of 7the divisionsH4256. 9Then JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 gaveH5414 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 the spearsH2595 and the shieldsH4043 and quiversH7982 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.
