Joash Crowned King of Judah

4 In athe seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds—of the bodyguards and the1 escorts—and brought them into the house of the Lord to him. And he made a covenant with them and took an oath from them in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king’s son.  
5 Then he commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall do: one-third of you who1 come on duty aon the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king’s house,  
6 one-third shall be at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down.
7 The two contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord for the king.  
8 But you shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within range, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.”
