Kings IV 11:5 In-Context

3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.

4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae shewed them the king's son.

5 And charged them, saying, This the thing which ye shall do.

6 Let a third part of you go in the sabbath-day, and keep ye the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep ye the guard of the house.

7 And there two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
