2 Kings 11:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ A third are to be at the Sur gate and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns providing protection for the palace.^[a](A)

⁷ “Your two divisions that go off duty on the Sabbath are to provide protection for the Lord’s temple. ⁸ You must completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who approaches the ranks is to be put to death. You must be with the king in all his daily tasks.”^[b](B)
