2 Chronicles 23:4-9

[4] This is the thing  that ye shall do;  A third part  of you entering  on the sabbath,  of the priests  and of the Levites,  shall be porters  of the doors;  [5] And a third part  shall be at the king's  house;  and a third part  at the gate  of the foundation:  and all the people  shall be in the courts  of the house  of the LORD.  [6] But let none come  into the house  of the LORD,  save the priests,  and they that minister  of the Levites;  they shall go in,  for they are holy:  but all the people  shall keep  the watch  of the LORD.  [7] And the Levites  shall compass  the king  round about,  every man  with his weapons  in his hand;  and whosoever else cometh  into the house,  he shall be put to death:  but be ye with the king  when he cometh in,  and when he goeth out.  [8] So the Levites  and all Judah  did  according to all things that Jehoiada  the priest  had commanded,  and took  every man  that were to come in  on the sabbath,  with them that were to go  out on the sabbath:  for Jehoiada  the priest  not the courses.  [9] Moreover Jehoiada  the priest  delivered  to the captains  of hundreds  spears,  and bucklers,  and shields,  that had been king  David's,  which were in the house  of God.
