2 Kings 11:5-7
New King James Version
5 Then he commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall do: One-third of you who [a]come on duty (A)on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king’s house, 6 one-third shall be at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down. 7 The two [b]contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord for the king.
