2 Kings 11:4-7

2 Kings 11:4-7

[4] And the seventh  year  Jehoiada  sent  and fetched  the rulers  over hundreds,  with the captains  and the guard,  and brought  them to him into the house  of the LORD,  and made  a covenant  with them, and took an oath  of them in the house  of the LORD,  and shewed  them the king's  son.  [5] And he commanded  them, saying,  This is the thing  that ye shall do;  A third part  of you that enter in  on the sabbath  shall even be keepers  of the watch  of the king's  house;  [6] And a third part  shall be at the gate  of Sur;  and a third part  at the gate  behind  the guard:  so shall ye keep  the watch  of the house,  that it be not broken down.  [7] And two  parts  of all you that go forth  on the sabbath,  even they shall keep  the watch  of the house  of the LORD  about  the king.
