2 Chronicles 23:3-5
New English Translation
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. 5 Another third of you will be stationed at the royal palace and still another third at the Foundation Gate. All the others[b] will stand in the courtyards of the Lord’s temple.
