"The two units who are off duty on the Sabbath will guard the LORD’s temple and protect the king."
— 2 Kings 11:7, NET Bible
“And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.”
“And the two companies of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king. ”
“The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Yahweh around the king.”
“But let two parts of you all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.”
“And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,”
“And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.”
In the seventh year Jehoiada summoned the officers of the units of hundreds of the Carians and the royal bodyguard. He met with them in the LORD’s temple. He made an agreement with them and made them swear an oath of allegiance in the LORD’s temple. Then he showed them the king’s son.
He ordered them,“This is what you must do. One third of the unit that is on duty during the Sabbath will guard the royal palace.
Another third of you will be stationed at the Foundation Gate. Still another third of you will be stationed at the gate behind the royal guard. You will take turns guarding the palace.
The two units who are off duty on the Sabbath will guard the LORD’s temple and protect the king.
You must surround the king. Each of you must hold his weapon in his hand. Whoever approaches your ranks must be killed. You must accompany the king wherever he goes.”
The officers of the units of hundreds did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each of them took his men, those who were on duty during the Sabbath as well as those who were off duty on the Sabbath, and reported to Jehoiada the priest.
The priest gave to the officers of the units of hundreds King David’s spears and the shields that were kept in the LORD’s temple.
