2 Kings 11:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ He commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: ^(A)one third of you, who come in on the sabbath and keep watch over the king’s house ⁶ (one third also shall be at the gate Sur, and one third at the gate behind the ^[a]guards), ^[b]shall keep watch over the house for defense. ⁷ Two parts of you, even all who go out on the sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house of the Lord for the king.
