New Living Translation
2 Kings 11:7-11
7The other two units who are off duty on the Sabbath must stand guard for the king at the Lord’s Temple.
8Form a bodyguard around the king and keep your weapons in hand. Kill anyone who tries to break through. Stay with the king wherever he goes.”
9So the commanders did everything as Jehoiada the priest ordered. The commanders took charge of the men reporting for duty that Sabbath, as well as those who were going off duty. They brought them all to Jehoiada the priest,
10and he supplied them with the spears and small shields that had once belonged to King David and were stored in the Temple of the Lord.
11The palace guards stationed themselves around the king, with their weapons ready. They formed a line from the south side of the Temple around to the north side and all around the altar.
