2 Kings 11:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ ‘Your two divisions that go off duty on the Sabbath are to provide the king protection at the Lord’s temple. ⁸ Completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who approaches the ranks is to be put to death. Be with the king in all his daily tasks.’^[a](A)

⁹ So the commanders of hundreds did everything the priest Jehoiada commanded. They each brought their men – those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty – and came to the priest Jehoiada.^(B)
