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.
10 And the priest gave the captains of hundreds the spears and shields which had belonged to King David, athat were in the temple of the Lord.
11 Then the escorts stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, all around the king, from the right1 side of the temple to the left side of the temple, by the altar and the house.
