2 Chronicles 23:3-5
Revised Standard Version
3 And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoi′ada[a] said to them, “Behold, the king’s son! Let him reign, as the Lord spoke concerning the sons of David. 4 This is the thing that you shall do: of you priests and Levites who come off duty on the sabbath, one third shall be gatekeepers, 5 and one third shall be at the king’s house and one third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
