(a third also shall be at the gate Sur, and a third at the gate behind the [a]guards), [b]shall keep watch over the house [c]for defense. And two parts of you, all who go out on the Sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house of the Lord for the king. Then you shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within the ranks shall be put to death. And (A)you are to be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”
