2 Kings 11:8 in Context — 2 Kings 11

6 E a outra terceira parte estará à porta do Sur, e a outra terceira parte à porta da entrada dos da guarda: assim guardareis a casa, para que não seja invadida.

7 E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem o sábado, tereis a guarda da casa do SENHOR junto ao rei.

8 E estareis ao redor do rei de todas as partes, tendo cada um suas armas nas mãos, e qualquer um que entrar por estas fileiras, seja morto. E haveis de estar com o rei quando sair, e quando entrar.

9 Os comandantes de cem, pois, fizeram tudo como o sacerdote Joiada lhes mandou: e tomando cada um os seus, a saber, os que haviam de entrar o sábado, e os que haviam saído o sábado, vieram a Joiada o sacerdote.

10 E o sacerdote deu aos comandantes de cem as lanças e os escudos que haviam sido do rei Davi, que estavam na casa do SENHOR.
