2 Chronicles 23:5

Compare all

3 Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord has ^asaid of the sons of David.

4 This is what you shall do: One-third of you ^aentering on the Sabbath, of the priests and the Levites, shall be keeping watch over the doors;

5 one-third shall be at the king’s house; and one-third at the Gate of the Foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.

6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord except the priests and ^athose of the Levites who serve. They may go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord.

7 And the Levites shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes into the house, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
