that
come in
on the sabbath ,
shall be
keepers
of
the
watch
of
the king's
house;
and commanded them, “
This is what
you
are
to
do: A third of you who
come on duty
on
the Sabbath shall guard
the royal
palace,
And
a third part
shall be at the gate Sur ;
and a third part
at the gate behind the guard:
so
shall
ye
keep
the
watch
of
the
house,
and
be
a
barrier
.
a third shall be at the gate of
Sur ,
and a third at the gate behind the guards
. You
are
to
take
turns
guarding
the
temple—
And
the two companies
of
you,
even
all
that go forth
on the sabbath ,
shall
keep
the
watch
of
the house of Jehovah
about
the king.
the two divisions
that would
go off
duty
on the Sabbath are
to
guard
the house of the LORD
for
the
king.
And
ye
shall
compass
the king round
about,
every
man
with his
weapons in his
hand ;
and he
that
cometh
within
the ranks ,
let
him
be
slain:
and
be ye
with
the king when
he
goeth
out,
and
when
he cometh
in
.
You
must
surround
the king with weapons in hand ,
and anyone
who
approaches
the ranks must
be put
to
death.
You
must
stay
close
to
the king wherever
he goes
. ”

on the
sabbath,

followeth
her
slay
with
the sword. For the priest said, Let
her
not be slain
in the house of Jehovah

who
follows
her
. ”

must
not be put
to
death
in the house of the
LORD
. ”
