2 Kings 11:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 (one-third also shall be at the gate Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the [a]guards), [b]shall keep watch over the house for defense. 7 And two parts of you, even all who go out on the sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house of Yahweh for the king. 8 And 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)be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”

2 Kings 11:6-8
New International Version
6 a third at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guard, who take turns guarding the temple— 7 and you who are in the other two companies that normally go off Sabbath duty are all to guard the temple for the king. 8 Station yourselves around the king, each of you with weapon in hand. Anyone who approaches your ranks[a] is to be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
