2 Kings 11:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ A third of you will be at the Sur Gate, and another third will be at the gate behind the guard. This way you will guard the ·Temple [^Lhouse]. ⁷ The two groups who go off duty on the Sabbath must ·protect [stand guard/watch over] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord for the king. ⁸ ·All of you must stand around [Surround] the king, with weapons in hand. Kill anyone who ·comes near [tries to break your ranks]. Stay ·close to [with] the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”
