2 Chronicles 23:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 23:9

(See Gill on 2 Chronicles 23:1).

2 Chronicles 23:9 In-Context

7 You must completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who enters the temple is to be put to death. You must be with the king in all his daily tasks."
8 So the commanders of hundreds did everything Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each brought their men-those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty on the Sabbath-for Jehoiada the priest did not release the divisions.
9 Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds King David's spears, shields, and quivers that were in God's temple.
10 Then he stationed all the troops with their weapons in hand surrounding the king-from the right side of the temple to the left side, by the altar and by the temple.
11 They brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, gave him the testimony, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and cried, "Long live the king!"
