2 Ils parcoururent Juda, et ils rassemblèrent les Lévites de toutes les villes de Juda et les chefs de famille d’Israël; et ils vinrent à Jérusalem.

3 Toute l’assemblée traita alliance avec le roi dans la maison de Dieu. Et Jehojada leur dit: Voici, le fils du roi régnera, comme l’Éternel l’a déclaré à l’égard des fils de David.

4 Voici ce que vous ferez. Le tiers qui parmi vous entre en service le jour du sabbat, sacrificateurs et Lévites, fera la garde des seuils,

5 un autre tiers se tiendra dans la maison du roi, et un tiers à la porte de Jesod. Tout le peuple sera dans les parvis de la maison de l’Éternel.

6 Que personne n’entre dans la maison de l’Éternel, excepté les sacrificateurs et les Lévites de service: ils entreront, car ils sont saints. Et tout le peuple fera la garde de l’Éternel.
