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.
9 Les chefs de centaines exécutèrent tous les ordres qu’avait donnés le sacrificateur Jehojada. Ils prirent chacun leurs gens, ceux qui entraient en service et ceux qui sortaient de service le jour du sabbat, et ils se rendirent vers le sacrificateur Jehojada.
10 Le sacrificateur remit aux chefs de centaines les lances et les boucliers qui provenaient du roi David, et qui se trouvaient dans la maison de l’Éternel.
