2 Kings 11:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ The officers obeyed Jehoiada's instructions and brought their men to him—those going off duty on the Sabbath and those going on duty. ¹⁰ He gave the officers the spears^[a] and shields that had belonged to King David and had been kept in the Temple, ¹¹ and he stationed the men with drawn swords all around the front of the Temple, to protect the king.
