2 Kings 11:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Two groups will go off duty on the Sabbath. They must protect the Temple of the Lord for the king. ⁸ All of you must stand around the king. Each man must have his weapon in his hand. If anyone comes near, kill him. Stay close to the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”

⁹ The commanders over 100 men obeyed everything Jehoiada the priest had commanded. Each one took his men who were beginning their Sabbath duty. Each one also took those who were ending their Sabbath duty. Both groups came to Jehoiada the priest.
