2 Chronicles 23:1-11
1And in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 JehoiadaH3077 strengthenedH2388 himself, and tookH3947 the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of JehohananH3076, and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ObedH5744, and MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of AdaiahH5718, and ElishaphatH478 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, into covenantH1285 with him. 2And they went aboutH5437 in JudahH3063, and gatheredH6908 the LevitesH3881 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the headsH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, and they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 3And all the congregationH6951 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the kingH4428 in the houseH1004 of GodH430. And he saidH559 to them, Behold, the king’sH4428 sonH1121 shall reignH4427, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732. 4This is the thingH1697 that ye shall doH6213; A third partH7992 of you enteringH935 on the sabbathH7676, of the priestsH3548 and of the LevitesH3881, shall be portersH7778 of the doorsH5592;1 5And a third partH7992 shall be at the king’sH4428 houseH1004; and a third partH7992 at the gateH8179 of the foundationH3247: and all the peopleH5971 shall be in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 6But let none comeH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, except the priestsH3548, and they that ministerH8334 of the LevitesH3881; they shall go inH935, for they are holyH6944: but all the peopleH5971 shall keepH8104 the watchH4931 of the LORDH3068. 7And the LevitesH3881 shall surroundH5439H5362 the kingH4428, every manH376 with his weaponsH3627 in his handH3027; and whoever else comethH935 into the houseH1004, he shall be put to deathH4191: but be ye with the kingH4428 when he cometh inH935, and when he goeth outH3318. 8So the LevitesH3881 and all JudahH3063 didH6213 according to all things that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 had commandedH6680, and tookH3947 every manH376 his menH582 that were to come inH935 on the sabbathH7676, with them that were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676: for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 dismissedH6358 not the coursesH4256. 9Moreover JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 deliveredH5414 to the captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967 spearsH2595, and bucklersH4043, and shieldsH7982, that had been kingH4428 David’sH1732, which were in the houseH1004 of GodH430. 10And he setH5975 all the peopleH5971, every manH376 having his weaponH7973 in his handH3027, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the templeH1004 to the leftH8042 sideH3802 of the templeH1004, along by the altarH4196 and the templeH1004, by the kingH4428 on all sidesH5439.23 11Then they brought outH3318 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, and putH5414 upon him the crownH5145, and gave him the testimonyH5715, and made him kingH4427. And JehoiadaH3077 and his sonsH1121 anointedH4886 him, and saidH559, God saveH2421 the kingH4428.4
