2 Chronicles 23:8
And took every man his men ... - i. e. the relief, already organized by Jehoiada into three bodies II Chronicles 23:4-5, was further strengthened by the members of the outgoing "course," who were associated in the work to be done.
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.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed athe divisions.
9 And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and the large and small ashields which had belonged to King David, that were in the temple of God.
10 Then he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and by the temple, all around the king.
