2 Kings 11:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ and said to them:

Here's what I want you to do. Three of your guard units will be on duty on the Sabbath. I want one unit to guard the palace. ⁶ Another unit will guard Sur Gate, and the third unit will guard the palace gate and relieve the palace guards.

⁷ The other two guard units are supposed to be off duty on the Sabbath. But I want both of them to stay here at the temple and protect King Joash.
