2 Kings 11:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 (A)Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent for and took the commanders of hundreds of (B)the Carites and of the [a]guard, and brought them to him in the house of Yahweh. Then he cut a covenant with them and had them swear in the house of Yahweh, and showed them the king’s son. 5 And he commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: (C)one-third of you, who come in on the sabbath and keep watch over the king’s house 6 (one-third also shall be at the gate Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the [b]guards), [c]shall keep watch over the house for defense.
