2 Kings 11:6 in Context — 2 Kings 11
4 La septième année, Jehojada envoya chercher les chefs de centaines des Kéréthiens et des coureurs, et il les fit venir auprès de lui dans la maison de l’Éternel. Il traita alliance avec eux et les fit jurer dans la maison de l’Éternel, et il leur montra le fils du roi.
5 Puis il leur donna ses ordres, en disant: Voici ce que vous ferez. Parmi ceux de vous qui entrent en service le jour du sabbat, un tiers doit monter la garde à la maison du roi,
6 un tiers à la porte de Sur, et un tiers à la porte derrière les coureurs: vous veillerez à la garde de la maison, de manière à en empêcher l’entrée.
7 Vos deux autres divisions, tous ceux qui sortent de service le jour du sabbat feront la garde de la maison de l’Éternel auprès du roi:
8 vous entourerez le roi de toutes parts, chacun les armes à la main, et l’on donnera la mort à quiconque s’avancera dans les rangs; vous serez près du roi quand il sortira et quand il entrera.
