2 Kings 11:4-6 ▼

4 In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards. He had them come to him in the LORD’s temple, where he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son

5 and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath are to provide protection for the king’s palace.

6 A third are to be at the Foundation Gate and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns providing protection for the palace.
