2 Chronicles 23:3-5

International Standard Version

“Look! The king’s son is going to rule, just as the Lord promised David’s descendants. ⁴ So here’s what you’ll need to do: One third of you priests and descendants of Levi who are on duty during the Sabbath will serve as guards at the temple gates. ⁵ Another third of you priests and descendants of Levi^[b] will take your places in the royal palace, while another third of you priests and descendants of Levi^[c] will stand near the Foundation Gate. The rest of you will remain in the courtyard of the Lord’s Temple.
