2 Chronicles 23:2-4

New English Translation

² They traveled throughout Judah and assembled the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the Israelite family leaders.

They came to Jerusalem, ³ and the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in the temple of God. Jehoiada^[a] said to them, “The king’s son will rule, just as the Lord promised David’s descendants. ⁴ This is what you must do. One-third of you priests and Levites who are on duty during the Sabbath will guard the doors.
