2 Kings 11:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ You who are in the first two groups that usually go off duty on the Sabbath should also guard the Lord’s temple to protect the king. ⁸ Surround the king completely, each of you with your weapons drawn. Whoever comes near your ranks must be killed. Stay near the king wherever he goes.”

⁹ The unit commanders did everything that Jehoiada the priest ordered. They each took charge of those men reporting for duty on the Sabbath as well as those going off duty on the Sabbath. They came to the priest Jehoiada.
