2 Chronicles 23:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ They met together in God's temple to make a promise to the new king.

Jehoiada said to them, ‘Here is the king's son.^[a] He must become king, as the Lord promised that David's descendants would be. ⁴ This is what you must do: The priests and Levites who come to work on the Sabbath day must make three groups. One group must be guards who watch at the doors of the temple. ⁵ Another group will watch at the king's palace. The third group will stand at the Foundation Gate. All the other men will stand in the yards around the Lord's temple.
