2 Chronicles 23:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And ^[a]Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign, ^(A)as the Lord has spoken concerning the sons of David. ⁴ This is the thing which you shall do: one third of you, of the priests and Levites ^(B)who come in on the sabbath, shall be gatekeepers, ⁵ and one third shall be at the king’s house, and a third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
