2 Kings 11:4-6
The Voice
4 During the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned the commanders of the Carites’ divisions and of the soldiers; and he gave them instructions to meet him in the Eternal’s house. There in the temple, Jehoiada entered into a covenant with them and made them swear to honor it. Then he revealed Ahaziah’s son, Joash, to them.
Jehoiada: 5 This is what we will do: I am commanding it. On the Sabbath when you are on duty, I want a third of you men to guard the palace, 6 another third to stand guard at the gate of Sur, and the remaining third to stand guard at the gate that is directly behind the soldiers. The first third must be unfaltering in watching the palace.
