5 Y mandóles, diciendo: Esto es lo que habéis de hacer: la tercera parte de vosotros, los que entrarán el sábado, tendrán la guardia de la casa del rey;
6 Y la [otra] tercera parte estará á la puerta del sur, y la [otra] tercera parte á la puerta del postigo de los de la guardia: así guardaréis la casa, para que no sea allanada.
7 Y las dos partes de vosotros, [es á saber], todos los que salen el sábado, tendréis la guarda de la casa de Jehová junto al rey.
8 Y estaréis alrededor del rey de todas partes, teniendo cada uno sus armas en las manos, y cualquiera que entrare dentro de estos órdenes, sea muerto. Y habéis de estar con el rey cuando saliere, y cuando entrare.
9 Los centuriones pues, hicieron todo como el sacerdote Joiada les mandó: y tomando cada uno los suyos, [es á saber], los que habían de entrar el sábado, y los que habían salido el sábado, viniéronse á Joiada el sacerdote.
