2 Kings 11:5-7, 9-10

He commanded them, “This is what you must do. A third of you who go on duty on the Sabbath will guard the king’s palace. A third of you will be at the Sur Gate, and another third will be at the gate behind the guard. This way you will guard the Temple. The two groups who go off duty on the Sabbath must protect the Temple of the LORD for the king.

The commanders over a hundred men obeyed everything Jehoiada the priest had commanded. Each one took his men who came on duty on the Sabbath and those who went off duty on the Sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest. He gave the commanders the spears and shields that had belonged to King David and that were kept in the Temple of the LORD.
