6 a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
7 the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
8 You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
