2 Chronicles 23:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 No one is to enter the Lord’s temple but the priests and those Levites who serve;(A) they may enter because they are holy, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the Lord. 7 The Levites are to completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who enters the temple is to be put to death. Accompany the king in all his daily tasks.”[a]
