2 Kings 11:7 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 11:7

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.”

9 ^aSo the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each of them took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
