5And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, “ThisH2088 is the thingH1697 that you shall doH6213: 1a thirdH7992 of you, who comeH935 inH935 on the SabbathH7676 and keepH8104 watchH4931 over the king’sH4428 houseH1004 6(a thirdH7992 also shall be at the gateH8179 SurH5495, and a thirdH7992 at the gateH8179 behindH310 the 2guardsH7323), 3shall keepH8104 watchH4931 over the houseH1004 4for defenseH4535. 7And twoH8147 partsH3027 of you, allH3605 who goH3318 outH3318 on the SabbathH7676, shall also keepH8104 watchH4931 over the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 for the kingH4428. 8Then you shall surroundH5362H5439H5921 the kingH4428, eachH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whoever comesH935 withinH413 the ranksH7713 shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. And 5you are to be with the kingH4428 when he goesH3318 outH3318 and when he comesH935 inH935.”

9So the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 6actedH6213 in accordance with everythingH3605 that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680. And eachH376 oneH376 of them tookH3947 his menH376 who were to comeH935 inH935 on the SabbathH7676, alongH5973 withH5973 those who were to goH3318 outH3318 on the SabbathH7676, and they cameH935 to JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548. 10Then 7the priestH3548 gaveH5414 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 the spearsH2595 and shieldsH7982 that had been KingH4428 David’sH1732, whichH834 were in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.
