2 Kings 11:5-8
5He ordered them, “This is what you must do. One third of the unit that is on duty during the Sabbath will guard the royal palace.
6Another third of you will be stationed at the Foundation Gate. Still another third of you will be stationed at the gate behind the royal guard. You will take turns guarding the palace.
7The two units who are off duty on the Sabbath will guard the Lord’s temple and protect the king.
8You must surround the king. Each of you must hold his weapon in his hand. Whoever approaches your ranks must be killed. You must accompany the king wherever he goes.”
