2 Kings 11:5, 6, 7, 9, 10

He commanded them, saying, “This is what you are to do: You who are in the three companies that are going on duty on the Sabbath—a third of you guarding the royal palace

a third at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guard, who take turns guarding the temple

and you who are in the other two companies that normally go off Sabbath duty are all to guard the temple for the king.

The commanders of units of a hundred did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men—those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.

Then he gave the commanders the spears and shields that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of the LORD.
