2 Chronicles 23:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ But let no one enter the house of the Lord except the priests and ^(A)the ministering Levites; they may enter, for they are holy. And let all the people keep the charge of the Lord. ⁷ The Levites will surround the king, each man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever enters the house, let him be killed. Thus be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”

⁸ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss any of ^(B)the divisions.
