2 Chronicles 23:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And another third part toward the King’s house, and another third part at the (A)gate of the [a]foundation, and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, save the Priests, and the Levites that minister, they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord.
7 And the Levites shall compass the King round about, and every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entereth [b]into the house, shall be slain, and be you with the king, when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
