2 Kings 11:4-8
Living Bible
4 In the seventh year of Queen Athaliah’s reign, Jehoiada the priest[a] summoned the officers of the palace guard and the queen’s bodyguard. He met them in the Temple, swore them to secrecy, and showed them the king’s son.
5 Then he gave them their instructions: “A third of those who are on duty on the Sabbath are to guard the palace. 6-8 The other two-thirds shall stand guard at the Temple; surround the king, weapons in hand, and kill anyone who tries to break through. Stay with the king at all times.”
