2 Kings 11:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 ¶ (A)And the seventh year [a]Jehoiada sent and took the captains over hundreds, with other captains and them of the guard, and caused them to come unto him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and showed them the King’s son.
5 And he commanded them, saying, This is it that ye must do, The third part of [b]you, that cometh on the Sabbath, shall [c]ward toward the King’s house:
6 And another third part in the gate of [d]Sur: and another third part in the gate behind them of the guard: and ye shall keep watch [e]in the house of Massah.
