2 Chronicles 23:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ The Levites and all Judah did exactly as Jehoiada the priest had commanded. Each leader combined the men coming on duty on the Sabbath with those going off duty on the Sabbath, because Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the divisions.

⁹ Jehoiada the priest gave the commanders of the hundreds the spears, the large shields, and the small shields^[a] which belonged to King David and which were in the House of God. ¹⁰ He stationed all the people, each man with his weapon in his hand, in a circle from the south side of the temple building to the north side of the building, around the altar and all around the building, completely surrounding the king.
