So Jehoiada the priest put men in charge of maintaining the Lord’s Temple. 19 The priest led all the people. They went from the Lord’s Temple to the king’s palace. The king’s special guards and the captains went with the king, and all the other people followed them. They went to the entrance to the king’s palace.
