⁸ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss any of ^(A)the divisions. ⁹ Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and the shields and small shields which had been King David’s, which were in the house of God. ¹⁰ And he caused all the people to stand, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right ^[a]side of the house to the left ^[b]side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.
