2 Kings 11:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ So the officers followed Jehoiada’s instructions. They brought to Jehoiada the men who were going off duty on the Sabbath and those who were coming on duty, ¹⁰ and he armed them from the Temple’s supply of spears and shields that had belonged to King David. ¹¹ The guards, with weapons ready, stood across the front of the sanctuary and surrounded the altar, which was near Joash’s hideaway.
