2 Kings 11:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ So the commanders of hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and each took his men who went off duty on the Sabbath^[a] and those who came on duty on the Sabbath,^[b] and they came to Jehoiada the priest. ¹⁰ Then the priest gave to the commanders of the hundreds spears and small round shields which were King David’s, which were in the temple of Yahweh. ¹¹ So the royal runners stood, each with his weapons in his hand, from the side of the temple to the south up to the side of the temple on the north, around the altar and around the temple, about the king all around.
