Chapter 11
4
Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent
orders
and brought the captains of hundreds of the Carites and of the guards, and brought them to himself at the house of the
Lord
. Then he made a covenant with them and put them under oath at the house of the
Lord
, and showed them the king’s son.
5
And he commanded them, saying, 'This is the thing that you shall do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep watch over the king’s house
6
(a third also
shall be
at the gate Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards), shall keep watch over the house for defense.
7
And two parts of you, all who go out on the Sabbath, shall also keep watch over the house of the
Lord
for the king.
8
Then you shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within the ranks shall be put to death. And you are to be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.'
9
So the captains of hundreds acted in accordance with everything that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the Sabbath, along with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
King James Version
Chapter 11
4
And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the
Lord
, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the
Lord
, and shewed them the king's son.
5
And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
6
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7
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.
8
And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
9
And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
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.
7
"Your two divisions that go off duty on the Sabbath are to provide the king protection at the
Lord
’s temple.
8
Completely surround the king with weapons in hand. Anyone who approaches the ranks is to be put to death. Be with the king in all his daily tasks."
9
So the commanders of hundreds did everything the priest Jehoiada commanded. They each brought their men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to the priest Jehoiada.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
4
In the seventh year of Athaliah’s reign, Jehoiada the priest summoned the commanders, the Carite mercenaries, and the palace guards to come to the Temple of the
Lord
. He made a solemn pact with them and made them swear an oath of loyalty there in the
Lord
’s Temple; then he showed them the king’s son.
5
Jehoiada told them, 'This is what you must do. A third of you who are on duty on the Sabbath are to guard the royal palace itself.
6
Another third of you are to stand guard at the Sur Gate. And the final third must stand guard behind the palace guard. These three groups will all guard the palace.
7
The other two units who are off duty on the Sabbath must stand guard for the king at the
Lord
’s Temple.
8
Form a bodyguard around the king and keep your weapons in hand. Kill anyone who tries to break through. Stay with the king wherever he goes.'
9
So the commanders did everything as Jehoiada the priest ordered. The commanders took charge of the men reporting for duty that Sabbath, as well as those who were going off duty. They brought them all to Jehoiada the priest,

Lord
. And he made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the
Lord

5
And he commanded them, "This is the thing that you shall do: one third of you, those who come off duty on the Sabbath and guard the king 's house
6
(another third being at the gate Sur and a third at the gate behind the guards) shall guard the palace.
7
And the two divisions of you, which come on duty in force on the Sabbath and guard the house of the
Lord
on behalf of the king,
8
shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand. And whoever approaches the ranks is to be put to death. Be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in."
9
The captains did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they each brought his men who were to go off duty on the Sabbath, with those who were to come on duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
New International Version
Chapter 11
4
In the seventh year Jehoiada sent for the commanders of units of a hundred, the Carites and the guards and had them brought to him at the temple of the
Lord
. He made a covenant with them and put them under oath at the temple of the
Lord
. Then he showed them the king’s son.
5
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,
6
a third at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guard, who take turns guarding the temple—
7
and you who are in the other two companies that normally go off Sabbath duty are all to guard the temple for the king.
8
Station yourselves around the king, each of you with weapon in hand. Anyone who approaches your ranks is to be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes."
9
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.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
4
In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds—of the bodyguards and the escorts—and brought them into the house of the
Lord
to him. And he made a covenant with them and took an oath from them in the house of the
Lord
, and showed them the king’s son.
5
Then he commanded them, saying, “This
is
what you shall do: one-third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall be keeping watch over the king’s house,
6
one-third
shall be
at the gate of Sur, and one-third at the gate behind the escorts. You shall keep the watch of the house, lest it be broken down.
7
The two contingents of you who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of the
Lord
for the king.
8
But you shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within range, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.”
9
So the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each of them took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
