Context of 2 Kings 11:9

7Your other two divisions, who are off duty on Shabbat, will also keep watch over the House of Adonai for the king. 8So you are to surround the king on every side—every man with his weapons in his hand—whoever breaks through the ranks must be put to death. You must be with the king in his comings and goings.” So the captains of hundreds did all that Jehoiada the kohen commanded. Each of the captains took his men—those who were on duty on Shabbat and those who were off duty on Shabbat—and presented themselves to Jehoiada the kohen. 10The kohen delivered to the captains of hundreds the spear and shields that belonged to King David that were in the House of Adonai. 11So the guards stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the House to the left side of the House, by the altar and the House, around the king on every side.
