2 Kings 11:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ The commanders followed Jehoiada's orders. Each one called together his guards—those coming on duty and those going off duty. ¹⁰ Jehoiada brought out the swords and shields that had belonged to King David and gave them to the commanders. ¹¹ Then they gave the weapons to their guards, who took their positions around the temple and the altar to protect Joash on every side.
